A New Standard for
Measuring Self-Sufficiency
Communities thrive when people do. The Unite Us Self Sufficiency Score is a first-of-its-kind benchmark that turns data into direction—helping governments, payers, and community partners target resources, measure progress, and build long-term resilience through predictive analytics.
Inside the
Self Sufficiency Score
You can’t fix what you can’t measure. Powered by our advanced analytics framework, the Self Sufficiency Score is a proprietary, data-driven measure that forecasts and tracks an individual’s journey toward independence and stability.
Unlike static assessments, it evolves as individuals engage with services—capturing needs, actions, and outcomes over time. This dynamic view turns progress into measurable impact and helps organizations:
Identify
Benchmark populations and pinpoint those most at risk of long-term dependency or recurring need.
Prioritize
Focus early, targeted support where it matters most, based on identified needs, service gaps, and predicted risk.
Collaborate
Use a unified metric to coordinate early interventions across sectors before crises emerge.
Evaluate
Track progress toward greater self-sufficiency and stronger community outcomes.
More Than a Number
Self-sufficiency is personal—and so is the Self Sufficiency Score. It’s not just a number on a dashboard, it’s a living reflection of real lives in motion.
While Population Insights provides a broad view of community well-being, the Self Sufficiency Score goes deeper—analyzing data across 12 predictive factors to uncover the true drivers of stability. Use it as a single score or explore individual components to see not just how many people are improving, but why—revealing the conditions that build lasting self-sufficiency.
Early Action
Changes Everything
When proactive, early support replaces crisis response, communities save money—and people move forward instead of starting over. The Self Sufficiency Score turns insight into action, helping leaders shift from reactive response to proactive planning, to build stronger, more resilient communities.
Direct resources to the people and programs that need them most
Track improvements across populations, programs, and communities
Support individuals moving from short-term aid to sustainable independence
Design interventions that strengthen individual and community resilience
Align partners around a shared measure of success
