172,942 is what we hold, not what the city has ever published. A row we did not pull is not in the file you buy. The portal itself stays free.
Person columns are stripped. The outbound name guard refuses a paid file whose header names a person or a way to reach one. Those columns stay in the city's portal and stay out of what we sell.
