Publication quality gate
Available, But Held From Indexing
State statistics pages must have enough county records, complete core measurements, and meaningful score variation. This gate prevents thin or misleading state snapshots.
- The template requires at least 5 county records for an indexable state snapshot.

Small-state publication policy
A Small Sample Stays Visible, But Held
Delaware has 3 county-level records, below the current minimum of 5. The snapshot remains available for transparent research, but it stays outside search indexing. County Freedom Index does not create synthetic geographies, duplicate records, or grant one-off exceptions to make a small state appear statistically larger.
The current small-state cohort is 4 records or fewer. Any future exception must be a documented, versioned policy applied consistently to every qualifying state.
