Healthy Aging Policy Index (HAPI)

An independent, documented index scoring how well a jurisdiction supports healthy aging, 0–100, over time, across six domains. Every score is auditable to its raw inputs.

HAPI measures outcome states and trends. It does not by itself prove a policy caused a change — attribution needs the quasi-experimental designs in the analytics module.

Domain profile over time 0–100

Each jurisdiction's score on every scored HAPI domain, as of the selected year — drag the slider to watch the profile evolve. Per-domain trends and the full audit trail are below.

Composite HAPI method v1 0–100

Chart: the composite as of each year — each domain's latest score up to that year, shown once every domain has data. Domains come from different survey years, so a single period often holds only the newest domain; the audit table lists those stored per-period composites and the domains each one covers.
