[The Census](https://readinessindex.io/census) Claims Claims # Every figure we publish, by quarter Each census edition has a claims page for every region: the figures we quote, with the number of sites behind each, the group it describes and the one caveat that goes with it. Below, each region’s headline figures, and a link to all of them. Every figure has a page of its own that can be cited.
