6) 8 (Population Growth Rates)

7) 7 (Population living in urban ares)

The most important indicator to me is the Gross National Product because economy plays a vital role in measuring development of a country because it's leads to access of basic needs. So, if a country is wealthy, it could provide education, clean water and shelter to most civillians. The least important indicator is Population Density because it doesn't really determine the status of a country in terms of development. A country may be big but poor, and at the same time, another country could be big but rich. The indicators in the middle are the smaller factors to measuring development but also important because these factors add up to the main conclusion whether the country is doing good or bad. We didn't use Car Ownership because we figured it's the least important factor out of all of them.
