What is Census QFR financial ratios?
Quarterly income-statement, balance-sheet and ratio tables for US corporations from the Census Bureau's QFR, cut by NAICS industry across 11 asset-size classes and released roughly ten weeks after each quarter closes.
In this catalog it appears concretely: - U.S. Census QFR — "~170 financial tables per quarterly release (qfr_tabs_f.xlsx ~1.2 MB)".
Why does Census QFR financial ratios matter when choosing a dataset?
A label on a listing is not a deliverable. Teams that license on the strength of a product-name match routinely find the shipped files cover a narrower slice than they assumed, and backfilling history afterwards costs more than the license ever did.
The failure mode is concrete: a source can carry the Census QFR financial ratios label while differing from what you need on exactly the dimension that matters — ~170 financial tables per quarterly release (qfr_tabs_f.xlsx ~1.2 MB). Comparing two sources on that line usually settles the choice faster than any feature matrix.
You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and U.S. Census QFR lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
How do you evaluate Census QFR financial ratios in a data source?
Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:
- Open U.S. Census QFR and confirm its record — "~170 financial tables per quarterly release (qfr_tabs_f.xlsx ~1.2 MB)" — against the files you actually receive.
- Pin down update cadence in writing. Across this catalog, 22.6% of 1,744 datasets refresh daily and 64 still arrive only through a manual request form, so ask exactly how fresh each release is.
- Check whether definitions are verified at all. Field definitions are verified for 1495 of 1,744 datasets (85.7%), and any source you license should meet that bar.
- Price the delivery route before the license. In this catalog bulk download is the most common access method (725 datasets) ahead of official APIs (574), and 379 sources still require scraping — a maintenance cost that lands on you, not the vendor.
