Notes
What the figures above can’t tell you.
- The two totals. The 13,825 total is the visit counter’s own figure. The daily columns add up to 13,922, 97 apart. The gap changes from day to day and its cause is unknown, so both figures are shown. The browser and system charts add up to the total; the country chart is 422 short because it lists only the top entries. The counter uses no cookies and does not identify anyone.
- The dates. This page covers the last two months, August 24 – October 24, 2026 (62 days), ending with the last full day. August 25 is low because Google wrongly flagged the new districtry.com address that morning, and Chrome turned visitors away before the page loaded. Those visits can’t be recovered. The Illinois school board page had 339 visits, the fourth most of any page.
- Visits by app. Older apps have had more time to collect visits, so read the order as age, not popularity. 57 of 5,314 page visits were to pages that belong to no app, such as the privacy page, so they are in no bar.
- Layers. Some layers appear in more than one state’s map, and their counts add up across states. Since September 29 each count also records which app it came from: Congress (Illinois 104, New York 40 and San Francisco 6), County (Arkansas 36, Illinois 107, Indiana 10, Iowa 6, Kentucky 7, Michigan 15, Minnesota 11, Mississippi 2, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 11, South Carolina 4, Tennessee 8 and Wisconsin 13), County board (Illinois 90 and Wisconsin 20), U.S. House (Arkansas 8, Indiana 29, Iowa 8, Kentucky 4, Louisiana 4, Michigan 24, Minnesota 4, Mississippi 1, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 7, South Carolina 18, Tennessee 22 and Wisconsin 13) and Ward (Illinois 173 and Wisconsin 4). “Not by app” is from before that date, or too small to be listed. The rest belong to one app only: County precinct, IL House, IL Senate, School board and Ward precinct. Only the top ten layers are shown.
- Sources. Only the top six sources are shown. They add up to 6,158 of 13,825 visits, so a search engine’s real total may be a little higher. The campaigns list counts only links tagged for a campaign.
- Sources day by day. Each day is counted on its own. “Other sites” is any other website that sent a visitor, such as LinkedIn or a news story. “No source” means the browser didn’t say where the visitor came from, such as a typed address or a bookmark; it is in the table but not the chart. A number ending in + means that day’s list was cut short, so the real figure is higher.
- Searches. Google and Bing figures each include both districtry.com and the old chidistricts.com, which still shows up in some results and forwards to the new site. Google leaves out rare searches, so these totals won’t match its own reports exactly. The visit counter can’t see what anyone searched for, because Google doesn’t pass that along. On Bing, districtry.com first appeared on September 13.
- Shared map links. Since October 17, each Google Maps or Apple Maps link read by a search box is counted once, with which maps app it came from, whether it was pasted or shared in, what the search found, and which map read it. The link and the place are never recorded. A link the front page passes on to a state’s map is counted by both.
