Publication quality gate
Available, But Held From Indexing
State statistics pages must have enough county records, complete core measurements, and meaningful score variation. This gate prevents thin or misleading state snapshots.
- The state needs at least 3 distinct Freedom Score values before this page is indexable.

Score-variation diagnostic
Why The Published Score Compresses
1 of 7 weighted Freedom Score components vary, but the weighted and rounded result produces only 1 distinct Freedom Score value. Secondary indexes vary in 3 of 4 categories.
| Freedom Score component | Weight | Distinct values | Minimum | Maximum | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny home | 25% | 1 | 20 | 20 | Flat |
| RV living | 20% | 1 | 20 | 20 | Flat |
| Off-grid | 20% | 1 | 20 | 20 | Flat |
| Land affordability | 15% | 1 | 20 | 20 | Flat |
| Property tax | 10% | 2 | 20 | 22.8 | Varied |
| Solar potential | 5% | 1 | 30 | 30 | Flat |
| Broadband availability | 5% | 1 | 90 | 90 | Flat |
A flat component can reflect genuine similarity, scoring floors, or insufficient local differentiation. This diagnostic explains the current output; it does not justify changing county values without stronger evidence.
