One D Scorecard Priority Area Heat Chart

This chart displays the individual indicators that comprise each priority area and drive the One D Scorecard. The value of an indicator is illustrated by the intensity of the color, coded to its priority area. The layout of the chart aims to illustrate how we calculate the One D Index; each priority area makes up an equal portion of the total circle, and the individual indicators within a priority area are equally weighted slices, with the exception of indicators reported by race when a total slice is split into sectors. See whether an indicator is positively or negatively scored in the One D Index based on the + or - symbols in each label. Learn more about our priority areas, the individual indicators that drive them, and how we calculate the One D Index in our Methodology.
