The WAWG Index

This index attempts to ‘measure’ the extent to which the list of 14 characteristics monitored by this blog apply to the United States over time.   The index will be determined monthly as a percent change from the previous month.   Once sufficient data have been collected, the index will be displayed as a graph or chart.  As activities related to the 14 characteristics increase, the index will rise.   As characteristic activities decrease, the index will drop.  The search criteria include key words for each characteristic and are limited to entries from the previous 12 months and those which include ‘.org’ in the URL.
