New Hampshire over time
Every dated record we hold for New Hampshire, bucketed by calendar year. Each panel names its own coverage: a line appears once a year carries enough observations to be a point rather than an anecdote, and says why it is empty when it is.
Safety index trend
New Hampshire publishes inspection outcomes, but not in a form this pipeline can read, so there is no violation-rate line to draw here. Read that as a gap in what we can see, not as a finding. An empty inspection history is not a clean record.
