Methodology

Figures are drawn from de-identified, aggregate-only submissions to FairVet's regional benchmark dataset — never individual users' estimates. Regions are ZIP-code buckets, not metro-area survey samples.

Sample sizes are shown plainly ("Based on N data points") rather than as a confidence tier — a cut below our minimum sample size is labeled "Not enough data yet" instead of an average that could be misleading.

This report describes what changed, not why. Period-over-period figures show the size of a change; they make no claim about its cause. Many factors can move regional pricing over time.

This is informational benchmark data, not medical or financial advice.
