Do you plan on updating the interactive map?
Kelly, the map should already be updated! https://namerology.com/ultimate-map/
I tested it by entering several names and it’s still showing the 2023 data.
Hmm, thanks for letting me know! I’ll recheck the deployment.
Looks like it’s now working properly with the new data!
(For future reference, a useful addition to this tool IMO would be the ability not only to view data for the most recent available year, but to select other years to view historical data as well – for the time periods the SSA has sufficient state-by-state data available.)
Thanks Kelly, I’ve been playing with that idea and hope to make it happen!
