| | Limitations of the Indicator: As a necessary condition to being a key economic performance indicator of sustainable development, one of the often‑cited limitations of GDP is that it does not account for the social and environmental costs of production; it therefore is not a good measure of the level of over‑all well being. | | | The components of the indicator (exports and/or imports) are reflecting the change in economic behavior of the domestic trade enterprises, the change in exchange rate, the effect of the change in exchange rate, and international competitiveness. | | | When using it as an indicator of sustainability the indicator has to be interpreted in connection with other indicators of economic development and energy use, as smaller or larger values of the indicator do not necessarily indicate more or less sustainable development. |

| | What is the single most important economic indicator for policymakers? (11/1999) |
| | Job growth is classified as a coincident economic indicator, meaning that job growth rates move closely in line with GDP and the overall economy. | | | Therefore, analysts often watch the index of leading indicators for persistent movements that may be taken as a signal of future trends in the direction of the economy. | | | The most comprehensive measure of overall economic performance is gross domestic product or GDP, which measures the "output" or total market value of goods and services produced in the domestic economy during a particular time period. |

| | In the model excluding the minority population, there was no relationship found between the poverty population and the quality of life indicators measuring housing costs, median household value and median gross rent. | | | This was done to ensure that the quality of life indicators were accurately being measured in regard to the minority population and that the results were not overly influenced by the relationship between minority and poverty. | | | There is a negligible positive relationship between the indicator average age of housing units and the percent disabled, indicating that the disabled are nor more likely to live in neighborhoods and communities with housing units aged any different than the district overall. |
