Where this score comes from

Every ProofIndex pillar uses published statistics. Review the sources behind this area's score, when each was released, and its known limitations.

Modeled EVI limitation: US Employment Vulnerability (EVI) is modeled, not directly measured. It is inferred from ACS sector and education patterns rather than direct BLS OEWS occupation employment. Because EVI contributes 35% of the score, treat this component as directional.
