Why did a Statista survey result change from the last wave?
The Statista help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Statista's consumer survey data is updated several times a year, so a figure can move when a new wave arrives.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Statista help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
Statista's consumer survey data is updated several times a year, so a figure can move when a new wave arrives.

How do I check it myself?
Compare several survey waves side by side rather than reading the latest one alone.
In the Statista help:
Make sure that Year is in the columns, then click the Edit button to select multiple survey waves.
Getting Started - FAQs, read 2026-11-12.Search for your country in the survey's country list; if it is not there, that module does not cover it.
In the Statista help:
Try searching for your country in the country selector. If it doesn't appear, it's not covered in that module.

How does Statista work with Feder?
- Connect Statista to Feder and it joins your Reach apps.
- When you connect Statista, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Statista, one of your Reach apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Statista.
