Per-capita context

|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 20.1 | 20.6 |

| WHD cases concluded since fiscal year 2005 | 155.3 | 107.3 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (Kansas: 2,977,220). Records are attributed to the state of the establishment (OSHA), the employer address (WHD) or the employer's headquarters on the application (OFLC), so a state that hosts many headquarters shows more filings per resident.
