Why Does Wholeness Matter? Economic Impact Social Justice

What is the Wholeness Index™ Measures disparity, not performance Replicable annually and across cities Incorporates 12 quality-of-life indicators in 3 domains o Economic opportunity o Self-sufficiency o Civic engagement Computes wholeness on a scale of 1 to 100 for each indicator and all of them combined Makes data more useful by displaying them spatially
