Report methodology

How to Interpret Monthly Record Count Changes

01

Full monthly reload

We rebuild the dataset from the public sources available during each monthly update.

02

State-level dedupe

Duplicates are merged within a state. Records from different states remain separate.

03

Historical retention

If a previously collected record disappears from a later load, it remains with its last DownloadDate.

04

Records are not people

The national total is a count of dataset records, not a nationally deduplicated count of individuals.
