This is an interesting question but assumes that the interstellar species has the same motivations we do. Us showing a metric doesn’t mean they’ll interpret it the same way we do. Possibly too broad but non-old-age death due to lack of resources (food, water, medicine, shelter, etc.) compared to surplus/deficit of those resources. Attempting to show whether as a society we have the ability to stop those premature deaths and whether we’ve chosen to do so or not. Maybe then also NEET (not in education, employment or training) relative to poverty rate? High NEET, low poverty means that AGI very likely exists. High NEET, high poverty means society is in trouble. Low/high means people are struggling to get by. Low/Low means things are likely somewhat efficient?
