About
This dataset provides historical data for the Human Development Index (HDI) across various countries. The HDI is a key metric for evaluating average achievement in three fundamental dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, knowledge, and a decent standard of living. It is calculated as the geometric mean of normalised indices for life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling, and gross national income (GNI) per capita. This data offers insight into global human development trends over time.
Columns
- HDI Rank: The current Human Development Index ranking for each country.
- Country: The name of the country.
- 1990 - 2019: These columns represent the Human Development Index (HDI) value for each respective year, from 1990 through to 2019.

The dataset is provided in a tabular format, typically a CSV file, named 'HDI.csv', with a size of 34.93 kB. It comprises 32 columns and contains 189 records or rows. There are no missing values across the detailed columns for each country and year. The expected update frequency for this dataset is "Never", indicating it is a static historical record.
