Why Chile it’s the most developed and stable country in all Latin America?
Chile has the highest Human Development Index in the last 2008 ONU report with an HDI of 0,874.
After there’s Argentina with 0,860, Mexico with 0,847 and Brazil with 0,807. The HDI combines three basic dimensions:
* Life expectancy at birth, as an index of population health and longevity
* Knowledge and education, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weighting) and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weighting).
* Standard of living, as measured by the natural logarithm of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) in United States dollars.
And Chile is the best in Latin America for these facts.

Of course it needs to be researched and I’m feeling too lazy to do the research, but my first instinct is cultural diversity. I know the people better than I know the numbers, but methinks your ranking list also shows the racial diversity of the populations.
