The change most likely to close the widest crack in Türkiye
Steadier, less fragmented access to food and income support is the lever most associated with improvement here.
Linked to the indicator food insecurity. This is the index pointing forward: not a judgement, but a lever. The estimated impact is published as a direction, not a promise.
Where Türkiye’s safety net holds, and where it is under strain
Each bar is the indicator normalised to 0–100, direction-corrected so a longer bar always means more cracks. The raw public value and the source year sit beside it.
Problematic debt
weight 19%Share of households with debts they can no longer repay. The first crack most people fall through, and the one that pushes the others open.
Raw value 21 % of householdssource year 2024Openestimate
Number of evictions
weight 15%Court-ordered evictions per 10,000 households. A direct measure of how often housing insecurity is allowed to reach its endpoint.

Homelessness
weight 8%Estimated homeless people per 10,000 inhabitants. A modelled estimate at municipality level, as no per-municipality open measurement exists. Homelessness is an unambiguous sign of a torn safety net.

The widest crack in Türkiye is food insecurity, which carries the most weight in raising the composite score. That is what the fix above targets.
