In the following, the four clusters are presented and briefly compared. Minor differences in colour for identical indicators may result from a different number of countries in the respective dashboards, or from different levels of indicator smoothing.
| The economic cluster of the CSD set: crowded and somewhat "environmental" | The economic cluster of the MDG set: less crowded and more convincing for economists |
|
|
| The social cluster of the CSD set: again very crowded but less "environmental" than "economy" | The social cluster of the MDG set: the focus is clearly on health issues |
 |
 |
| The environmental cluster of the CSD set: many indicators, and reasonably structured | The environmental cluster of the MDG set: clearly weaker than the CSD set - not enough detail |
 |
 |
| The governance cluster of the CSD set: again, this set looks a bit "environmental" ... | The governance cluster of the MDG set: governance was not foreseen in the MDGs, so put the relevant gender and education indicators here. |
