The Full Workup
Financial Vitals
A clinician never treats off one number — they read a panel. The Pulse is the heart rate; here it sits alongside five more vitals so you can read a state’s financial health like a chart. Pulse is unchanged — it is one vital among several.

How to read this. Each vital pairs a real metric from the live snapshot with an illustrative medical-analog value mapped onto that vital’s clinical scale, plus a band. The analog numbers (e.g. “148/86 mmHg”, “94% SpO₂”) are a labeling device for the underlying data — not clinical readings. Higher is worse for every vital except SpO₂ (reserves), where higher is better. A “—” means that input isn’t reported for the selected geography (the national United States row has no per-state distress data, so several of its vitals read “—”).
