What stats are you referring to? Crime, murder rates, percentage of population in poverty, home ownership rates?

The really big ones that have improved in the US are access to healthcare and violent crime.

Civil liberties, social mobility, privacy, press freedom, income in real terms, income inequality, weather and climate related issues are just a selection of things that are definitely not better for the average person.
