Editorial date:How these articles use public data
The analyses use the site’s retained Census ACS 2020–2024 five-year estimates and PEP Vintage 2025 population history. An article’s editorial date is separate from its observation period and its September 30, 2026 data review. A recent article can legitimately explain an older survey period; its headline does not turn that estimate into current-year data.
Source counts, denominator exclusions and release IDs accompany the interactive tables. The data controls recompute only documented calculations and export the selected measure. Photographs illustrate the subject; numerical evidence comes from the Census source tables. Descriptive differences do not establish a causal effect or a statistically resolved ordering.
