# Essentials Floor

The weakest service behind an average access score.

Period: 2023 · 170 calculated values / 170 economy rows · Unit: Percent of population

Floor = min(water, sanitation, electricity, clean cooking)

## Definition

Take the minimum of the four national population access percentages. Also report their arithmetic mean and the mean-minus-floor gap. If the four shares describe compatible populations, joint all-four access is bounded below by max(0, sum(shares) − 300) and above by the minimum share.

## How to interpret it

The floor is a marginal service share, not observed joint access. Joint bounds are conditional on compatible definitions, populations and endpoints; source estimates from different reporting systems may not align perfectly. No independence assumption is imposed. Access does not establish affordability, reliability or safe management.

This is a named diagnostic, not an official statistic, causal model or universal prosperity score. Missing outputs remain unavailable. Source estimates, normative choices and uncertainty are distinct.
