How the Data Desk works
Every chart on this page is built server-side from a live public data feed — no number here is hand-entered or estimated. Charts refresh automatically about once an hour. If a source is unreachable when the page builds, that chart simply doesn’t render rather than showing stale or invented data; check the fetched-at timestamp under any chart to see when it last updated.
