Mapping the Measure of America - created by the Human Development Project, this site uses a straightforward 10-point scale to measure the "well-being of America," which is defined by three major factors: health, education, and income. Data are displayed through interactive, color-coded maps of the US. When a user scrolls over a state, a pop-up window appears providing a data set for the state. This includes an overall HDI (Human Development Index) score and data on median earnings, education (e.g., school enrollment and educational attainment), life expectancy, ethnicity, and political makeup. The Charts tab provides additional statistical indicators for each state in various categories, e.g., environment (release of various known environmental toxins); housing and transportation (number of foreclosures, commuting information, etc.); political participation (voter turnouts); and security (crime numbers, state police expenditures, etc.). The Charts tab can also organize the statistics by congressional districts and by one of nine major metro areas. Users can build their own statistical charts easily with a few clicks. Data can be imported into an Excel spreadsheet.
