The Measure of America, 2010-2011: Mapping Risks and Resilience

Human Development Indicators

Human Development Indicators The following indicator tables were prepared using, to the degree possible, official U.S. government data from the most recent available year. For cross-country comparisons, data are drawn from international organizations, such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the World Bank, and the United Nations, that maintain rigorous data collection standards. All data are standardized to ensure comparability.

In these tables, the American Human Development Index scores have been rounded to two decimal places. The resulting values may therefore appear to be tied in several instances. The rankings reflect the original values that result from calculation of the Index, not the rounded values. When the total population of any group was less than 50,000 people, the HD Index was not calculated for that group due to the statistical instability of survey-based estimates for small populations. For example, 12 U.S. states have fewer than 50,000 African Americans living in them, and thus an HD Index value for African Americans in these states is not available. 211 Mapping Risks and Resilience AMERICAN HD INDEX INDICATOR TABLES HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS HD RANK HD INDEX LIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTH (years) AT LEAST HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA (%) AT LEAST BACHELOR’S DEGREE (%) GRADUATE OR PROFESSIONAL DEGREE (%) SCHOOL ENROLLMENT (%) MEDIAN EARNINGS (2009 dollars) HEALTH INDEX EDUCATION INDEX INCOME INDEX United States 5.17 78.6 85.0 27.7 10.2 87.3 29,755 5.25 5.15 5.09 GENDER 1 Women 5.15 81.2 85.6 27.0 9.6 90.8 23,997 6.32 5.52 3.60 2 Men 5.07 76.0 84.3 28.4 10.8 84.0 35,170 4.15...
