The statistics reflect records compiled by The News Tribune, gathered from 49 South Sound government agencies. Sometimes, you’ll notice blank fields (they’ll say NO DATA), because some governments didn't supply us with enough data to make the calculations. It wasn't a matter of ignoring our questions – some agencies simply responded to our requests with greater detail than others. In certain cases, we’ve added a comment to reflect special circumstances involving a particular agency. Got a question or comment about this data? Send it to Sean.Robinson@thenewstribune.com.
