How to cite

Each page carries a suggested citation with the release tag. The current release is 2026.10 (October 2026); figures are recomputed from the compiled corpus each release, and the URL keeps working across releases.

Machine-readability

Every stat page embeds two schema.org objects: a Dataset describing the measure, its denominator, and its measurement technique, and a FAQPage matching the visible questions on the page. Both are in the HTML source — no fetch needed.
