Leave No One Behind Rankings

The Leave No One Behind (LNOB) performance of all 50 US states

States are ranked by their Leave No One Behind (LNOB) score. The SDGs are guided by the principle to 'leave no one behind' (LNOB). The Leave-No-One-Behind Index tracks inequalities along four dimensions: poverty, services, gender, and income. A higher score means that fewer population groups are being left behind.
