This assessment evaluated 684 institutions, including central government agencies, metropolitan and basic local governments, and public organizations, based on 20 indicators across five areas: openness and utilization, quality, management system, analysis and utilization, and sharing.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety assigned ratings in five categories according to the total score of each institution: Very Excellent (95 points or higher), Excellent (80–94 points), Average (60–79 points), Below Average (40–59 points), and Poor (below 40 points).

In the area of public data provision, Seongnam City recorded 60,555 annual cases of citizen data use, earning high marks across the evaluation categories.

The city achieved a total score of 91.69 points, classified as "Excellent."

This is 31.39 points higher than the average score of 60.3 points for basic local governments.

The city attributed these results to making data such as open parking lot status and trash bin installations available to citizens during the Lunar New Year holiday period, expanding the discovery of new data based on citizen and business demand, conducting regular quality inspections, and refining metadata.

Seongnam City's data-driven administration, which received the "Excellent" rating for two consecutive years, achieved a total score of 88.72 points ("Excellent").

This is also 23.12 points higher than the average score of 65.6 points for basic local governments.

The city attributed these achievements to enhanced data analysis support for major projects such as the extension of Subway Line 8 to Pangyo, as well as ongoing efforts to promote data-driven administration, including data utilization training for employees.

A Seongnam City official stated, "The foundation for public data provision and data utilization is a key element in enhancing citizen convenience and administrative transparency. We will not settle for the results of this assessment but will continue to expand data services that citizens can truly experience."
