Nicaragua data profile
OurBlueDot currently has comparable observations for Nicaragua across 24 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 Nicaragua is $3,173, reported for 2025. Observation periods differ by indicator.
Low comparable-sample position
Coffee consumption: Among 171 countries with comparable values, Nicaragua ranks 169.

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 Nicaragua. 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.
