The rename
Node 24134, a component of the APN Meridian™ (Education Value Index) branch (24130), was registered as “Aspiration Velocity,” built on ABS Building Approvals data — a construction-supply series, not a measure of income or educational advancement.
The node runs on 2016→2021 Census data: the change in household income and in Bachelor’s-degree-or-higher attainment over that period. This is a trajectory measure, distinct from Human Capital Depth (24133), which measures the current stock of attainment. It is named Advancement Velocity.
What this means for readers
“Aspiration Velocity” describing building approvals or development activity refers to the earlier construction. Node 24134 measures income and attainment growth.
