How to read the graph: For each dimension, regions have been assigned values from 0 to 10 based on their rank among all OECD regions and
on the latest available data: 10 is the best performance and 0 is the lowest. The OECD median region is equal to 5. The more the radar graph is
covered, the better the performance of the region among OECD regions.
Both the Federal District (the Mexican state with the highest GDP per capita in the country, after Campeche) and Chiapas
(the Mexican state with the lowest GDP per capita in the country) fare better than the OECD median region in labour and
in environment. Chiapas is also higher than OECD median region in environment, and the Federal District in education.
