Australia vs Thailand

Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.

Australia takes cost of money and work & income — widest margin: currency (10.09 % vs -2.27 %). Thailand takes housing & living and macro — widest margin: debt per person ($5,213 vs $33,216). In this type case — a single average earner comparing published official figures — the categories are not summed: a mortgage rate and a GDP figure do not weigh the same.
