Ride sharing giant Lyft came to the market on Thursday, as the company beat rival Uber to the market in one of the biggest and most  closely watched initial public offerings of the year. The company began trading on the Nasdaq at $72 per share,  according to a report in The Wall Street Journal,  giving Lyft a valuation of over $20 billion in the booming market for car sharing.

But poverty rates aren’t anywhere close to equal between continents or even countries, as our new series of maps clearly demonstrates. The World Bank provides an in-depth explanation for its methodology, which you can find in Appendix A of the full report  here . We focused on the percentage of people in each country living below what the World Bank defines as extreme poverty, or $1.90/day. We’ll let the researchers defend this definition on their own, but there is one caveat to keep in mind. It can be extraordinarily difficult to collect reliable data from so many countries on a regular basis, and in fact we used the latest year in which numbers were available whenever possible. For example, in some of these maps we compare 2011 figures against 2015. In short, our maps provide the clearest possible apples-to-apples comparison for extr
