    Default Ranking of EU member countries by ALC(Actual individual consumption)

    I read it's more accurate than GDP/Capita in determining the living standards

    Actual individual consumption, abbreviated as AIC, refers to all goods and services actually consumed by households. It encompasses consumer goods and services purchased directly by households, as well as services provided by non-profit institutions and the government for individual consumption (e.g., health and education services). In international comparisons, the term is usually preferred over the narrower concept of household consumption, because the latter is influenced by the extent to which non-profit institutions and general government act as service providers.

    Although GDP per capita is an important and widely used indicator of countries’ level of economic welfare, consumption per capita may be more useful for comparing the relative welfare of consumers across various countries.

    AIC per capita is usually highly correlated with GDP per capita, because AIC is, in practice, by far the biggest expenditure component of GDP.

    Default

    It looks legit to me. I can compare Hungary and Croatia and Hungary has higher/better living standard despite lower cost of living.
    I hope the lowest ranked countries improve in the future
