It's impossible to define well, but even an approximate measure could be interesting and useful. I think you would have to keep it out of the state of the nation address, though, as that would force it to be twisted until it was always good. Better to keep it in a relatively neutral organization like the Census Bureau. Thanks for the note–I think that is a great idea.
