Brazil vs Portugal
Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.
Brazil takes cost of money and housing & living — widest margin: currency (5.92 % vs -0.71 %). Portugal takes work & income and macro — widest margin: debt per person ($1,815 vs $9,995). 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.
