How many countries are included in the 2012 HDI? The 2012 HDI covers 187 countries, the same number as in 2011, while only 169 were included in the 2010 HDI. This major expansion of HDI coverage is the result of intensified efforts by the Human Development Report office to work with international data providers and national statistical agencies to obtain required development indicators for the HDI which had been unavailable for some countries in previous years. Data constraints precluded HDI estimates for member states: Marshall Islands, Monaco, Nauru, the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea, San Marino, Somalia, South Sudan and Tuvalu.
