Calculation Methodology
State-Level Data Collection
We begin with official IRS and Georgia DOR published statistics for statewide tax lien filings, collections, and enforcement actions.
County Population Weighting
County-level estimates are calculated by distributing state totals proportionally based on population, adjusted for median income and business density.
Industry Risk Adjustment
For industry-specific pages, we apply risk multipliers based on IRS audit rates by industry sector and Georgia-specific economic factors.
Cross-Validation
Estimates are cross-validated against available county assessor records and regional IRS office data where available.
Confidence Labeling
All statistics are labeled with confidence levels: 'High Confidence' for official data, 'Estimated' for derived calculations.
Important Disclaimer
County-level tax lien statistics are estimates based on state totals and demographic factors. Actual filing numbers may vary.
