Goalposts

The 0-to-100 score for this indicator is normalized against fixed methodology goalposts. The values below define the band; click through to the methodology page for the framework that anchors them.

Score 100: 95% disposed
Score 0: 30% disposed
Direction: Higher is better
Anchor: Fitted to the Thai provincial distribution

Goalposts of 30 percent and 95 percent are fitted to the observed PCD provincial waste-disposal distribution. Lowest-performing provinces sit in the 30 to 40 percent range (rural Northeast, parts of the South); best-performing reach 90 to 95 percent (Bangkok at 100, EEC, well-managed municipal areas). A 0/100 goalpost band would compress almost the entire Thai distribution into the upper-middle range.

Live distribution: 8 of 77 provinces clip at the score-100 ceiling; 3 of 77 clip at the score-0 floor.

Reading the columns.Raw valuethe actual measurement in % disposed.Scorenormalized 0–100 against fixed methodology goalposts (not a percentile). Higher is better.Why ties?8 provinces share the score-100 ceiling because their raw values meet or exceed the upper goalpost. 3 share the score-0 floor at the lower goalpost. Provinces beyond the goalposts aren't separated further — that's the trade-off for fixed, year-over-year comparable scoring instead of percentiles.
