DR Congo data profile
OurBlueDot currently has comparable observations for DR Congo across 26 indicators and 8 themes.
Observation periods differ by indicator. The newest annual reporting period currently shown is 2025.
Indicators without a comparable value are listed separately. Missing does not mean zero.
Atlas coverage
Coverage counts production layers with a finite, displayable country value. Grey or missing indicators are not zeros.

Selected observations
These notes are computed from available atlas values. Comparable-sample positions describe only countries with a finite value for that indicator and period.
Most recent reporting period
GDP per capita in DR Congo is $807, reported for 2025. Observation periods differ by indicator.
High comparable-sample position
Electricity mix: Among 177 countries with comparable values, DR Congo ranks 1.
Low comparable-sample position
CO₂ emissions per capita: Among 191 countries with comparable values, DR Congo ranks 191.
Calculated observation
Day length in DR Congo is 12h 07m. This value is classified as calculated data.
Missing from this atlas
Cars per 1,000 people currently has no comparable value for DR Congo. Missing is not zero and is not a performance verdict.

Indicators without a comparable value
Missing does not mean zero, and it does not imply poor performance. Coverage differs by indicator and country. Open a layer page for the definition and methodology.

How to read this profile
This page synthesizes existing OurBlueDot observations for DR Congo. It is not a composite country score and does not establish causal relationships.
Observation periods and sources vary by indicator. Comparable-sample ranks include only countries with a finite value for that indicator and period, and are not a ranking of every country. Read what a rank means.
Read the methodology and sources for how layers are selected, labelled, and left grey when a source does not publish a comparable value. Why some countries appear grey explains that missing colour is not zero and not a judgment.
