SourceLine

Report a correction

If something on SourceLine is wrong, out of date or missing, tell us. Accurate public information belongs to everybody, and the people who live in a place often know first when a record has it wrong.

The report form is being built.

You can also write to corrections@mysourceline.com.

What happens after you report

Every report is read by a person, and if you leave your email you will hear back within five to seven business days. We check it against the official source. If the error is ours, we fix it and record the change. If the official record itself is wrong, we say so on the page, show what the record says, and tell you which office can correct it at the source.

Corrections are made in the open

SourceLine does not quietly change a figure and move on. Each correction is listed on this page with the date, what changed and why. The page that held the error carries a note about the change. Past officeholders, earlier district lines and earlier figures stay in the record with their dates, so history is never rewritten.

Corrections made

The list of corrections will appear here, newest first, after SourceLine opens to the public.

About these figures

Every figure on this page shows the year it describes. Public agencies release their numbers on their own schedules, often a year or more after the work of counting is done. The Census Bureau, for example, publishes its five year community survey each December, and the national reading test is given every two years. That is why some figures are not from this year. SourceLine updates each one as soon as the agency publishes it.

For some counties and small towns, SourceLine has not found meeting records online. Where it has not, we add them as they become available. A page that says SourceLine hasn’t updated a record yet means exactly that.
