Countries by Sanitation Access (%)

Complete ranking of 202 countries • % • Updated 2026

Andorra leads all 202 countries in Basic Sanitation % with a value of 100, while Ethiopia ranks last at 10.358. This represents a 10-fold difference between the highest and lowest values.

What Basic Sanitation % Measures

Basic Sanitation % is a comparative indicator tracked across countries by the World Bank. It provides a quantitative basis for cross-national comparison, enabling researchers and policymakers to benchmark national performance on this dimension against global peers.

Why This Ranking Matters

Examining Basic Sanitation % across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Global Range

Values range from 10.358 (Ethiopia) to 100 (Andorra) — a 10-fold difference across 202 countries.

Regional Patterns

European countries lead with 8 entries in the top 20, though representation spans multiple continents. Regional factors clearly play a role, but outliers from other parts of the world show that national policy and geography matter as much as continental trends.

Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 67.617 to 99.07. The overall spread from 10.358 to 100 reflects significant global variation.

Notable Outliers

The top of the ranking is competitive: Andorra and Australia are separated by only 0%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data. The bottom five countries are all from Africa, pointing to regional challenges that affect basic sanitation % across the continent.
