Every figure, with its source

One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

The sentence each figure was read from (7)

Read in full, publishes no figure

51 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

6 of the 57 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 51 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 107 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per state (and the District of Columbia) per year: the personal income tax structure (none, flat, graduated) with its brackets and standard deduction, any LOCAL income tax and who sets it (Ohio's municipalities, Indiana's counties, Maryland's counties, New York City), and any state payroll deduction that is not income tax at all (Washington's Paid Family and Medical Leave and WA Cares, California SDI, New Jersey's SUI/SDI/FLI) - which is the join no paycheck calculator shows: the nine no-income-tax states are NOT nine zero-deduction states, and the local layer moves the answer by more than a bracket in four of them.

Across the set: the effective state-plus-local deduction on the same gross, ranked, and changed-since each legislative session

107 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
