The GPI for the United States has leveled off since 1975. While there have been fluctuations in the GPI over the years, the overall trend has been a plateau since the mid-1970s. The GPI takes into account factors beyond just economic growth, such as environmental impact and social well-being, which may explain why it has not seen the same dramatic increases as GDP.
