Sources Behind Every Ohio Page
Below is every public page a fact on this site rests on, grouped by who published it, with the date it was read. Ohio state government pages are missing on purpose: none is cited until the owner has read it, so pages here say only that state rules apply.

Housing figures
Where a page gives the age of a city's housing, the number comes from one federal source: the Census Bureau's American Community Survey five-year estimates (ACS 2020-2024 5-year release, table B25034, year the structure was built). These are survey estimates and not a count of houses, and each carries a margin of error.
Photos
Animal photos in the list of services and on its pages are public-domain images from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, used with credit. They show the species and nothing else. None of them shows a job or an operator, and none stands in for a look at your own attic. The house photo on the front page is Oak Hill Cottage in Mansfield, from the Carol M. Highsmith Archive at the Library of Congress. It is not a job site.
How sources are used
A fact from a county, city or university page is restated in new words beside a link, and federal text may be quoted directly. The section on how pages are written explains the rest, and the front page shows what Ohio Attic Animal Removal is for.
