Abstract The volume is based on the groundbreaking American Human Development Index, which provides a single measure of well-being for all Americans, broken down by state and congressional district, as well as by race, gender, and ethnicity. The Index rankings of the 50 states and 435 congressional districts reveal huge disparities in the health, education, and standard of living of different groups.
