How we count
- When someone asks Front Door their first question, our matching service sorts it: the kind of help, and whether they need it this week. We add one to the count for that kind of help, place and week.
- The place is the ZIP code or county the person gave us, if they gave one. We never use an address, a city block or a phone location.
- We keep the count, and nothing else: not the words, not a name, not an account, not a browser or network address.
- Unmet need means no state or federal program fit the question well, and we list no office, nonprofit or food site for that kind of help in the person's county.
- Any count under 10 shows as fewer than 10. When only one count in a list would be hidden, we hide a second one too.
- The demo site is not counted, and questions about Front Door itself, crisis questions and letters are not counted.
- Weeks start on Monday, in UTC. The page reads the counts again at most every 15 minutes.
