How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the life evaluation value from the World Happiness Report on a 0 to 10 scale. It describes how people evaluate their own lives in international comparison.

Nomadino uses the World Happiness Report as the direct public anchor. Countries and territories without direct WHR coverage receive maintained replacement values from administering state, regional context, prosperity, stability and available quality-of-life indicators.

The rating equals the raw value multiplied by 10. A raw value of 7.4 therefore receives 74 points; 10 out of 10 would receive 100 points.

The indicator measures subjective life satisfaction, not only leisure, income, health or safety. This is why it is used as one board component beside concrete time and strain indicators.

Because the World Happiness Report itself rarely reports values close to 10, this indicator does not necessarily reach 100 points. That is intentional for this source.
