About StatSafari

We counter narratives with data. Every number we publish cites its source and year inline.

What we publish

Country and US-state leaderboards across economic, social, and historical indicators; an interactive comparison tool for custom head-to-head views; and long-form deep dives on topics where the popular narrative diverges sharply from the numbers. New datasets and tools ship regularly.

Team

StatSafari is built by a small, distributed team of data scientists, economists, and software engineers.

Sources

Country data from the World Bank and IMF World Economic Outlook. Public debt components from the IMF, BIS, Eurostat, and national treasuries. US state data from the BEA. Market data from Yahoo Finance. Sovereign ratings from S&P, Moody's, and Fitch. Historical territorial changes from the Correlates of War project, extended with national archive records.

Per-dataset definitions, update cadence, and caveats are on the Methodology page.

Funding

Independent and self-funded. Future revenue will come from optional premium data integrations and reader donations. Core content remains free.

Scope

We publish what cited sources publish. We do not produce forecasts of our own. Projections shown on leaderboards come from the IMF and are labeled as such. Nothing on the site is investment advice.
