Worked Example

Let's walk through a sample calculation to demonstrate how the Living Hundred Index is computed.

Suppose we have the following data for a region:

Income level: 85
Consumption pattern: 78
Housing conditions: 92
Education access: 88
Healthcare access: 85
Environmental quality: 75

The formula for the Living Hundred Index is:

Living Hundred Index = (Income × 0.3) + (Consumption × 0.2) + (Housing × 0.25) + (Education × 0.1) + (Healthcare × 0.1) + (Environment × 0.05)

Plugging in the values:

(85 × 0.3) + (78 × 0.2) + (92 × 0.25) + (88 × 0.1) + (85 × 0.1) + (75 × 0.05) = 25.5 + 15.6 + 23 + 8.8 + 8.5 + 3.75 = 88.15

The calculated Living Hundred Index for this region is 88.15, indicating a relatively high standard of living.
