Averaging Hispaniola would be 0.651, but this has to be understood due to the brutal economic difference between one side of the island vs the other. It is to such an extent that the economic distance between both is twice the one between the US and Mexico. One needs to make the sojourn on both sides to really grasp it.

Se sabe que comparados con Haití e incluso con Cuba, República Dominicana es Suiza y tal en el fondo el OP lo sepa

Sí, pero me refería a como el mal performance de ellos baja necesariamente el promedio insular tomado como un todo. Uno nada más puede imaginarse lo espectacular que sería esto de estar nosotros Domis solos en esta isla.

De seguro que si

Reading the HDI database in greater detail, DR's per capita income is more than twice as high as Cuba's, but it still performs worse for life expectancy and levels of education. The point about the HDI is it weighs income, education and life expectancy together. https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/...gin=BROWSELINK

Y Puerto Rico?

Not a nation as such. Nevertheless: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...are-comparable

PR is comparable to Hungary and, were it an independent nation, would be ranked first on this list.

According to the database I just posted, DR's per capita income is around six times Haiti's, and the HDI score differential between them is 0.242. By contrast, the same database shows that the USA's per capita income is just under four times as high as Mexico's, and the HDI score differential between them is 0.163.

In the off-chance they were to be given independence, do you think they have the capacity to keep that HDI afloat?
