World, 239 country boundary entries, and 1,874 ADM1 context rows are indexed. Countries are classified as canonical, boundary-only, or ADM1 overlay coverage.
Places
Atlas coverage by place
PainMap exposes a full release place index with explicit coverage status for each country and ADM1 context row. Confirm coverage type first so sparse countries are not read as full canonical profiles.
Coverage today
What this release currently covers
Brazil and India are the only countries with canonical country profiles in this release.
Direct rows are not yet available; this release includes 6 proxy and 2 priority-overlay rows plus 239 boundary and 1,874 ADM1 context-overlay rows.
ADM1 poverty-context rows are separate overlay coverage. They are useful for context only and should not be treated as canonical country ranking rows.
Direct welfare evidence rows are not yet represented as country-level release measurements.
Global default rankings are held until coverage checks pass for canonical profiles and direct/priority evidence rows in this release snapshot. See release notes for the explicit gate criteria and progress rationale.
Release manifests, checksums, schemas, and coverage JSON identify this snapshot.
- World and country boundaries are mapped, but sparse ranking inputs remain transparent.
Task 1
Find a place
Start with the country search path on the homepage, then confirm coverage status in the place summary.
The first step is checking whether a place has canonical, boundary-only, or ADM1 overlay status before interpreting any ranking.
Task 2
Compare places
Use the compare surface only across compatible coverage modes and keep source-vintage, uncertainty, and method links visible.
Task 3
Download and cite
Use release-scoped JSON and API contracts for analysis, citations, and reproducible exports.

Key terms
Coverage and comparability glossary
- Canonical country profile
- Countries with release-scoped measurement rows and rows eligible for direct side-by-side comparison.
- Boundary-only coverage
- Countries shown in the map boundary set without canonical pain values in this release.
- ADM1 context
- Subnational context rows shown for distributional hints, not canonical comparison rows unless explicitly promoted.
- No release coverage
- Place not currently represented in the active release in a comparable row format.
- Proxy aggregate
- Indicator-derived estimates used where direct evidence rows are not published in the release.
- Priority overlay
- Attention-first ranked layer used to guide review and action pathways, distinct from direct comparison rows.
- Modeled estimate
- Computed outputs that rely on transform logic, assumptions, or proxy substitution to estimate place-level burden.
- Direct place evidence
- Canonical measurements published directly for a place in this release and suitable for direct comparison.
- Ranking mode
- The ordering contract for a row family, including whether lower is worse, higher is worse, or whether uncertainty changes sort behavior.
- Not directly comparable
- Rows only compare directly when coverage mode, unit, value model, ranking mode, source vintage, reference period, and method version align.
- Coverage status
- Release-derived state that determines whether a place has canonical rows, context-only rows, or no release rows.
- Value model
- How a value was represented numerically before ranking (for example, proxy burden, direct estimate, or transformed life-years).
- Reference period
- The date window represented by the value row, kept so incomparable time windows are not mixed.
- Source vintage
- The upstream source revision or snapshot date used to generate the release row.
- Uncertainty
- How much confidence and interval width applies to this value; lower precision should not be treated as fixed evidence.
- Method version
- The registered transformation method used to convert source data into this release row.
