    Adult literacy rate
    Scale
    100 = highest adult literacy in the dataset, 0 = lowest
    Raw value
    98.87 % of adults
    Native score
    98.46 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.

    Metric
    International tourist arrivals
    Scale
    100 = most arrivals (2019), 0 = fewest — descriptive, not better or worse
    Raw value
    503,000 arrivals per year
    Native score
    48.59 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.
    Percentile rank
    33th percentile — ranks 116th of 174. Comparable across metrics.
    Normalization
    Log + min–max (log scale, for skewed data)
    score = 100 · (ln 503,000 − ln 3,700) / (ln 90,914,000 − ln 3,700) = 48.59

    Log scale (values are heavily skewed). 0 and 100 are the dataset's min (3,700) and max (90,914,000) — relative, not absolute or year-over-year comparable.
