The time machine: looking at a past month

Move the report back to any complete past month and read the whole page as it stood then.

Every report can go back in time. Change the date range and the whole page, every signal, rate, map, and briefing, is worked out again for that past month.

The report header showing the Date range dropdown set to June 2026, a Provisional badge, and 'Data through Jul 15, 2026'.
The Date range control near the top of the report, set to June 2026, with the Provisional tag and the "Data through" date beside it.

How to use it

On the report, use the Date range picker near the top and pick any complete past month. The whole page, not just the headline, is redone for that month. The full report and the PDF work the same way, so a downloaded report always shows the month you picked.

Why the newest month looks low

The newest month is provisional: its numbers can still rise as late HPD records arrive. Step back one month and you are usually looking at more complete figures. Read a fresh month as "so far," not "final." See Why did the number change.

Reading a trend over time

Each signal also shows its own trend line across months. The month a signal's record begins is marked, so its first month is never mistaken for a sudden jump in activity.
