Per-capita context

|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 12.8 | 20.6 |
| OSHA citations issued, per year | 18.4 | 38.1 |
| WHD cases concluded since fiscal year 2005 | 185.6 | 107.3 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (New Mexico: 2,125,498). 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.
