Distribution
How values are spread across the records that have one. Use it to check that the attribute tells records apart: when one value holds nearly everyone, it will not separate audiences much. The bars run in rank order, from the lowest value to the highest. The shading groups the bars into percentile bands.
Share by value
Share of individuals with a known value in each band. The middle 50% falls between 7 and 25 months, shaded darkest.
P10 means 10% of individuals have a value at or below this one, and P90 means 90% do. P25 and P75 bound the middle half. The median is the middle: half are below it, half above.
Median over time
25 months → 25 months across 12 collections, shaded between P25 and P75. Estimated from a 1% sample of individuals.

Coverage
How widely Faraday has this attribute, and how precise its values are. How many of your own records get a value also depends on how many of them Faraday matches. The state map shows where coverage is thin. Coverage over time shows whether it is growing or shrinking.
Coverage by state
Percentage of individuals in each state with a value.
Coverage over time
Share of individuals holding a value at each monthly snapshot. A value carries forward for one year.
How we arrive at a value
Whether a value was observed on the person themselves, carried from their address, or estimated from the people around them.
- On the person — 100%
- A named person, from a record about that person.
- From address — 0%
- Not used for this attribute — no value is inherited this way.
- From geography — 0%
- Not used for this attribute — no value is inherited this way.
Coverage, in context
Where 6.3% sits on the catalog’s own coverage range.
Higher coverage than 22% of individual-level attributes in the catalog
Freshness
Whether the values reflect today. A long gap since the latest collection means they may lag behind what is true now.
Collections
How recently this was collected, and how often a new collection arrives. Each bar is one collection, sized by how many individuals it carried. Gaps are real — collection is periodic, not continuous.
Change between collections
How much values move between collections. Income or life events should move; heavy change in something steady can mean noisy data.
of individuals changed value between the two most recent collections — 1.0× steadier than the catalog median of 16.0%.
