Introducing

America’s Pulse

Citizen-Driven. Non-partisan. Non-profit.

America’s Pulse is the first app of its kind that puts 50 measures in your hands across all 50 states, allowing you to see how your state compares. The measures show how your state ranks in a wide range of quality-of-life measures covering education, health, children, the economy, public safety, infrastructure, environment, and government efficiency.

A government accountability app that lets you feel the pulse of our nation. It provides a comprehensive view of the quality of our lives, state-by-state, in the palm of your hand!

Citizen-Driven Government

“We the people…” set our government’s priorities. But we cannot do so without first knowing how we are doing.

Transparency + Results = Trust

See How Your State Ranks!

Trust in government is not built on rhetoric or promises – it’s built on measurable, visible results that improve people’s daily lives. Citizens want proof, not words. When governments make outcomes transparent and progress undeniable, trust rises. When results are invisible, abstract, or absent, distrust spreads.

While no dataset is perfect, this rigorous, transparent process makes federal data the most reliable, standardized, and comparable source available for measuring state performance. America’s Pulse relies on data collected by federal agencies from all 50 states. This data must follow consistent federal definitions and standards, is required by law, and undergo audits and independent verification. It is publicly available and tested to ensure historical accuracy and comparability.

Our Theory of Change

Imagine if our elected officials and candidates on the campaign trail were constantly confronted by voters holding their state’s report card and asking what they were doing to improve lives.

If

Citizens used report cards with measures to hold their elected officials accountable for delivering results

Then

Elected officials would focus on improving results to get elected and re-elected, and our lives would improve.
