How the categories split

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. Categories are ranked by share, largest first. “All other values” groups the smallest into one bar.

Share by category

n = 19,098,852

Coverage by state

Percentage of addresses in each state with a value.

Coverage over time
