How this figure is calculated
Access to electricity urban vs rural divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Access to electricity urban vs rural ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Access to electricity in urban vs. rural areas SDG 7.1.1 Electrification Dataset, World Bank, via World Bank (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
