what's your economic stress index?

This is an interactive map that measures financial strain by county.

Just hover over your county and check out your stats.
My county is doing about average. 10.83 where I live and 11.64 where I work.

I'm not seeing too many patterns in this map other than the midwest seems better off than the East and western states. Anybody catch any insights from this they want to share?
