My question is, is it odd that my index page only has a pr of 5, if so many other pages on the site are also 5. I would figure that the index would be a 6 to keep some kind of downward progression from this page.
for various reasons, a lot of the incoming links to my site are to the subdirectories. does this hurt my index's pr?

I have a similar situation on my site. I think the home page is probably a "high" PR5. (It used to be a PR6.) For me, some of the pages that are one click away from the home page are PR5 but some are PR4. So I'm guessing that the PR5's are low PR5's and the PR4's are high PR4's.
How many internal links you have to those second-level pages is also a factor.
On my site, my homepage only has a pr of 5. almost every directory below it has a pr of 5 as well,...
I think most people would agree that, in regard to the "downward progression" of PR, it's not how deep the directory is where the page is located, but rather how many clicks away from the home page.

Of course, an external link to your home page leads to a different distribution of transferred PR than a link to an internal page. For normal linking structures the highest benefit for the home page is a direct link. However, even a deep link leads to an increase of PR for the home page.
Not really sure what that means. Could you elaborate?
Thanks for the help guys.
