The District of Columbia was previously included in the "Small Business Survival Index," but is not included in the "U.S. Business Policy Index" this year. The District was dropped because it is not covered in several measures included in the Index, and therefore, its ranking would not accurately reflect its competitive position relative to the 50 states.

Please look for a "city index," which SBE Council will publish in 2013.
