Our Methodology
How we research, source, and present gender statistics.
How We Source Data
All statistics presented on StatsByGender.com are drawn from peer-reviewed scientific research, government health organizations, and reputable academic institutions including the CDC, NIH, WHO, APA, and major university research departments. We do not publish findings from tabloid sources, unverified blogs, or opinion pieces.
How We Present Data
We present population-level statistical findings as reported in research. A finding that "men are more likely to X" means that across large population studies, men showed higher rates of X than women. It does not mean all men exhibit this trait, or that any individual man is more likely than any individual woman to exhibit it. Individual variation within gender groups is always significant.
Our Commitment to Nuance
Gender research is complex and evolving. Many differences that appear biological have significant social and cultural components. Many differences once considered fixed have changed as social conditions change. We present the current state of research while acknowledging these complexities in every result.
What We Do Not Claim
StatsByGender.com does not claim that observed statistical differences are caused by biology, culture, or any specific factor unless the cited research explicitly supports that conclusion. We report what research finds — not why it finds it, unless the source addresses causation directly.
Found an Error?
If you believe a statistic is inaccurate or outdated, please contact us. We take accuracy seriously and will review and update findings based on more recent research.
