How we work
- Public, named sources, such as federal and Florida state agencies. Each figure names its source and period, and every source is linked.
- Our own calculations are labeled as ours, and each page’s method section says how we made them.
- No client information. These pages use published, aggregate data.
- Not medical advice. The figures describe whole populations; they do not diagnose anyone or say what care is right for one person.
- Spotted an error? Contact us and we will correct it and note the change on the page.
Using our data
The data behind each page is free to download as a CSV and free to reuse, including commercially, with credit to Innovative Counseling and a link to the page (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0).
