An independent project tracking the pulse of the American economy and banking system, in public, in real time.
USDataLive.com shows live counters for US economic and banking data — the national debt, GDP, tax collected, mortgage rates, bank deposits, and more. Every figure traces back to a named US government or government-adjacent source: the Census Bureau, US Treasury, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Freddie Mac.
Counters that represent cumulative totals — like the national debt or GDP generated today — use a simple formula: take the most recent official annual (or period) figure, divide it down to a per-second rate, and count up from a known anchor value and timestamp. There are no live API calls, no AI models, and no backend server involved in showing you a number. It's public data and arithmetic, running entirely in your browser.
Counters that represent a rate or level — inflation, the Fed Funds Rate, mortgage rates — don't tick, because faking movement on a rate would misrepresent it. Those are shown exactly as last published, with an "as of" date.
USDataLive.com is an independent data project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the United States government or any federal agency. Where a number is a formula-based estimate rather than a live feed from the source agency, that is stated on the counter itself.
