Census tract–level inequality (Gini coefficient + care economy data) overlaid against state Liberation Scores. Where the narrative says liberation but the Census shows extraction — that's the gap.

Data: ACS 5-year estimates (2022) via Census Bureau API. Gini from B19083. Care workers from C24030 (healthcare, education, social services). Equality Score = inverted Gini × 0.85 + care worker bonus. Narrative Extraction Gap = state Liberation Score − tract Equality Score. Positive gap = media claims more liberation than Census conditions reflect.
