LEARN ABOUT THE Index METHODOLOGY
The FPC Freedom Index is rooted in our core beliefs and pro-rights principles. Learn how we scored the states in the Index Methodology.
The 2026 FPC State Freedom Index reflects the results of a survey completed in November 2025; changes to the law after the data date of the survey are not reflected. The FPC Freedom Index is intended to be updated on an annual basis. To learn more, see the Index Methodology.
