About Statmerica

I built Statmerica as a small project to experiment with coding alongside different LLMs. The goal is simple: make it easy to compare important U.S. statistics across presidential administrations without spin.

The site focuses on a few headline metrics and shows how they moved over a four‑year term. There’s no political angle here, just raw data and straightforward calculations. I try to avoid complex adjustments that can hide assumptions. Nothing is extrapolated. When a term is still in progress, both sides are compared over the same number of complete years, and partial years are shown but not scored.

The charts and comparison logic are transparent by design. Data sources and processing commands are documented, and you can see exactly where the numbers come from. If you’re curious about the details, check out the Data Sources & Methodology page.

If you spot an error or have a suggestion for a new metric that meets the same bar—widely used, clearly defined, and reliably sourced—feel free to open an issue or reach out.
