For the 2022 GHI report, data were assessed for 136 countries. Out of these, there were sufficient data to calculate 2022 GHI scores for and rank 121 countries (by way of comparison, 116 countries were ranked in the 2021 report).

*For 15 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: 4 as serious and 4 as alarming. For 7 countries, provisional designations could not be established (see Provisional Hunger Severity Designations).

— = Data are not available or not presented. Some countries did not exist in their present borders in the given year or reference period.

Ranked according to 2022 GHI scores. Countries that have identical 2022 scores are given the same ranking (for example, Costa Rica and United Arab Emirates are both ranked 18th).

¹ The 17 countries with 2022 GHI scores of less than 5 are not assigned individual ranks, but rather are collectively ranked 1–17. Differences between their scores are minimal.
