Denmark vs Spain
Field by field, official sources only. Green wins the row, red loses it — grey rows lack a published value on one side.
Denmark takes work & income, housing & living and macro — widest margin: government debt (27.40 % vs 100.50 %). Spain's best row: tax on pay (23.54 % vs 35.33 %). 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.
