These factors are presented in eight sub-indices that combine "hard" outcome data with survey data reflecting how citizens themselves experience reality:
- Economy (macroeconomic policies, economic satisfaction and expectations, foundation for growth, and financial sector efficiency)
- Entrepreneurship & Opportunity (entrepreneurial environment, innovative activity, and access to opportunity)
- Governance (effective and accountable government, fair elections and political participation, and rule of law)
- Education (access to education, quality of education, and human capital)
- Health (basic health outcomes, health infrastructure and preventative care, and physical and mental health satisfaction)
- Safety & Security (national security and personal safety)
- Personal Freedom (individual freedom and social tolerance)
- Social Capital (social cohesion and engagement, as well as community and family networks)
