EVIDENCE YOU CAN CHECK
Data periods and source freshness
A figure describes its source period. Downloading it today does not turn it into a current measurement.
News and statistics run on separate schedules. News is checked twice daily and served from our database. Newsletters arrive weekly or monthly, according to your choice. There are no scheduled daily newsletters.
Every 30 days
Check school results, directories, reported-crime files and local boundaries for corrections.
Every 90 days
Recheck fixed Census statistics, national geography files and the public-library survey.
When a source changes
Archive the source, review its definitions and validate the import before publishing. Most statistical editions represent an annual release; their period remains visible.
“Source checked” means the monitor successfully checked the known source. It does not certify that every newer release has already been integrated. Coverage and source periods remain attached to the facts.
