Social Index Rankings

The Social Index is a GERBER.ai composite score (0–100) built from six Census ACS rates with fixed weights: poverty, unemployment, college education, labor-force participation, health insurance and disability. A higher score means lower poverty, unemployment and disability rates and higher education, participation and coverage rates; it does not measure everything about a community.
