Why this moved — Index v1.0 → v1.1
Score changed from 87.4 (v1.0) to 85.9 (v1.1) when the Index expanded on 21 Oct 2026. Decomposed honestly:
- Methodology effect -1.5 — the indicator set grew from 9 to 16 (adding Protection and Environment & Exposure). This part of the change says something about the ruler, not about Puerto Rico (US).
- Data effect +0.0 — revised or newer values on the original v1.0 indicators. This is the part that reflects change in Puerto Rico (US) itself.
The v1.0 table is kept in the v1.0 archive.
