Registry Burden Ranking — All States & Territories

Most burdensome at top. Burden index 0=least … 2=most = burden points (🔴=2, 🟠=1) ÷ all 13 rated dimensions. ⚪ cells count as 0 (no burden confirmed yet), so a high ⚪ count means the score is provisional and can only rise as those cells are verified.
