List of U.S. states by American Human Development Index explained

List of U.S. states by American Human Development Index should not be confused with List of U.S. states and territories by Human Development Index.

This article presents a sortable table of U.S. states sorted by their American Human Development Index, according to Measure of America. The data were taken from the American Human Development Report.

The territories of the United States are listed separately (they were not included in Measure of Americas report); the territories data is from a different source (based on United Nations Development Programme), which uses a different numbering system.[1]
