It introduces the American Human Development Index, which provides a single measure of well-being for all Americans, disaggregated by state and congressional district, as well as by gender, race, and ethnicity. The Index rankings of the 50 states and 436 congressional districts reveal huge disparities in the health, education, and living standards of different groups. Clear, precise, objective, and authoritative, this report will become the basis for all serious discussions concerning the realization of a fair, just, and globally competitive American society. 410 0$aColumbia/SSRC book. 606 $aQuality of life$zUnited States$vStatistics 606 $aSocial indicators$zUnited States$vStatistics 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1980-2020$vStatistics 615 0$aQuality of life 615 0$aSocial indicators 676 $a306.0973/090511 686 $aAP 27440$2rvk 700 $aBurd-Sharps$b Sarah$01551841 701 $aLewis$b Kristen$01551842 701 $aMartins$b Eduardo Borges$01551843 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791591603321 996 $aThe measure of America$93811518 997 $aUNINA
