List of Canadian provinces and territories by Human Development Index

This is a list of Canadian provinces and territories by their Human Development Index, which is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, standard of living and overall well-being of the citizens in each province and territory. All Canadian provinces and territories have a very high (greater than 0.800) HDI.[1][2] The 2018 estimate merges the provinces and territories of Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon into one, rather than classifying them separately.
