@kelpindigo_Folks, this is Brazil's HDI-M (Municipal Human Development Index) in 2000 compared to that of 2024. Graphs available on Wikipedia. 8 of the 10 states with the largest increase in the HDI-M index are in the Northeast. All states saw an increase in the HDI-M index compared to 2000. For you, it may not have changed much, but you can be sure it has changed (for the better) for many people. (the value inside the states is their position in the national ranking)
