K-Means Classification
Country Clusters
Stable Urbanizers

Countries with higher urbanization, lower inequality (Gini), and better peace scores. Typically developed nations with stable institutions.

Volatile Urbanizers

Countries with ongoing urbanization, higher inequality, and lower peace scores. Often developing nations with rapid change.

Clusters determined by K-Means analysis of 53 socioeconomic indicators
Countries: 59
Understanding Country Clusters

Countries are automatically grouped into two clusters using K-Means machine learning algorithm based on 53 socioeconomic indicators including urbanization, peace scores, inequality, economic development, and environmental factors.

Stable Urbanizers (33 countries)

Characterized by: Lower Global Peace Index scores (more peaceful), lower Gini coefficients (less inequality), higher urbanization rates, and better overall stability metrics.

Volatile Urbanizers (26 countries)

Characterized by: Higher Global Peace Index scores (less peaceful), higher Gini coefficients (more inequality), rapid urbanization transitions, and developing economic structures.
