Definitions & Methods

Latest periods are selected independently

County values use ACS 2024, FDOT 2025, CBP 2023, SUSB 2022, FLHSMV June 2026, and FLHSMV traffic crashes 2024 (final). Cross-source ratios display both periods rather than implying they match.

[1][7][2][3][13][9]

Business measures use two releases

Jobs, establishments, payroll, and average pay use CBP 2023; firms and receipts use SUSB 2022. Null fields in the package prevent accidental substitution across releases.

[2][3]

Registered road-vehicle definition

The aggregate includes autos and pickups, heavy trucks, motorcycles, and buses. It excludes trailers, mobile homes, tools, and vessels. EV and hybrid counts are subsets, not additions.

[13][12]

ACS estimates and change

The statewide series includes every ACS 5-year vintage from 2015 through 2024. Each pools five years of responses, and small differences may not be statistically significant because this page does not display margins of error.

[1]

Safety exposure

The county fatality rate divides final 2024 fatalities by ACS 2024 population. It is a resident-population context measure, not a matching-year or per-VMT exposure rate.

[9][1]

Facility geography

Airport and seaport measures describe activity at a named facility. Host county is location context only and is not a county-wide measure.

[5][6][8]

Reporting periods

FAA airport figures use calendar years, while seaport activity uses the Florida mission plan's fiscal-year reporting period. Do not combine the periods into a single trend point.

[5][6][8]

Preliminary airport data

CY 2025 airport enplanements are preliminary FAA figures and may be revised. Display the preliminary status anywhere these values appear.

[5]

No county attribution

Do not assign all airport or seaport passengers, cargo, or capital investment to the host county. Facilities serve multicounty, statewide, national, and international markets.

[6][8]

Zero and missing values

Zero denotes explicitly reported no activity. Null denotes a metric that the source did not report; missing values must not be converted to zero.

[6][8]

Values marked N/A are unavailable from the cited release. Facility activity is not reassigned to a host county, and no composite transportation score is calculated.
