The index is designed to measure consumer wellbeing, stress, vulnerability, and recovery across communities using multiple public-interest data signals.

Tracks childcare, housing, healthcare, education, transportation, and local family support conditions.
Uses complaint, fraud, scam, and enforcement signals to identify communities where consumers may need stronger protection.
