Claims

# What we claim, and how to check it in the United States

Every figure the census publishes for the United States, each with the number of sites behind it, the group it describes, what it measures and the one caveat that goes with it. Each has its own address, so a figure can be quoted with a link that shows exactly it.

How to check

## Every number here comes from files you can open

- The groups and every site in them: the cohort pages linked from each row below.
- How the census is run and what it cannot support: [methodology](https://readinessindex.io/census/methodology).
- The figures behind every page: [summary.json](https://readinessindex.io/census/2026-Q4/data/summary.json).
- This page as data: [claims.json](https://readinessindex.io/census/2026-Q4/us/claims.json), CC BY 4.0.

A figure is a share of the sites we could scan. Sites that refused the scanner are counted separately and are not in any share but the one that counts them. Any figure from fewer than 30 sites is withheld.
