124	—=Data are not available or not presented. Some countries did not exist in their present borders in the given year or reference period. Note: As always, rankings and index scores from this table cannot be accurately compared to rankings and index scores from previous reports (see Appendix A). For the 2021 GHI report, data were assessed for 135 countries. Out of these, there were sufficient data to calculate 2021 GHI scores for and rank 116 countries (by way of comparison, 107 countries were ranked in the 2020 report. * For 19 countries, individual scores could not be calculated and ranks could not be determined owing to lack of data. Where possible, these countries were provisionally designated by severity: 1 country is designated as low, 1 as moderate, 6 as serious, and 4 as alarming. For 7 countries, provisional designations could not be established (see Box 1.3). 1 Ranked according to 2021 GHI scores. Countries that have identical 2021 scores are given the same ranking (for example, Argentina and Costa Rica are both ranked 19th). 2 The 18 countries with 2021 GHI scores of less than 5 are not assigned individual ranks, but rather are collectively ranked 1-18. Differences between their scores are minimal.
