Well-being
Well-being is a data page on the Domestic Intelligence desk of Glassbox Auditing. Crime and how much of it is solved in every state since 1985, police calls in a few cities, who lacks health insurance, births, deaths and migration, and what state and local governments spend on roads, parks and police. These shape where people and employers choose to live and what insurance, policing and care cost there.

(moves the other way; quarters; company scale) Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer (Summary Reporting System and arrest totals).

What feeds this page?
- Jurisdictions (Domestic Intelligence): Where psychiatric bed capacity falls, more people in crisis tend to end up in emergency rooms and jails, which adds to police calls and public-safety spending. (moves the other way; years; economy scale) Source: SAMHSA National Substance Use and Mental Health Services Survey.
- Religious Organizations (Domestic Intelligence): Every state exempts houses of worship from property tax, so where congregations own much land, the local base that pays for roads, parks and police is narrower. (moves the other way; years; economy scale) Source: Census Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances.
- State Education (Education): Schools are the largest item in most state and local budgets, so enrolment and per-pupil spending move those budgets and the property taxes that fund them. (moves the same way; yearly; economy scale) Source: Census Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances.
- Budget & Spending (Macro): Medicaid is the largest federal grant to the states, so federal health spending shapes state budgets and how many residents have health insurance. (moves the same way; 1-2 years; economy scale) Source: Census Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances.
- Influence Sentiment (People & Money): State pension funds hold large stakes in big tech, so swings in those few stocks change the contributions states must make, money that competes with roads, parks and police in their budgets.
