# British Resilience Index > A non-partisan data project tracking stress across the key systems of UK national life, built entirely from official open data. The British Resilience Index measures how well the core systems of British society are holding up. It is built entirely from official open data, every figure sourced and validated. It does not assign blame to political parties. It tracks whether systems are improving, deteriorating or entering dangerous levels of strain across eleven domains including health, housing, public services, infrastructure, fiscal resilience and trust. The national index score runs from 0 to 100 where higher means more stress; scores for the four UK nations and nine English regions are published alongside the national picture. ## Machine readable versions Every deep dive below is also published as plain Markdown and as JSON, generated from the same data the page renders from.
