3. Some of the statistics presented are in the form of a range — for example, “1 to 9.” This is because the data at low levels is purposefully “masked” by either the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund or the World Trade Center Health Program to prevent the possible identification of specific participants.

The statistics for the World Trade Center Health Program for states and Congressional districts are as of June 2019, and for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund as of August 2018.
