The dataset spans 91 years (January 1935 – February 2026), containing 55,969 records across 71 unique rate series and 933 monthly time periods.

After removing 13,950 null values and 5 sentinel values (-99.999), 42,014 valid records were available for analysis — meaning approximately 25% of all records required filtering.

The distribution is heavily right-skewed: the mean value is 242.16 versus a median of just 5.25, driven by non-percentage series such as Treasury bill auction amounts that reach as high as 30,100.0.

Percentage-based rate series (52,889 records) are far more tightly distributed, with a mean of 5.74% and a median of 5.02%, ranging from -4.3% to 22.75%.

The lowest recorded value of -4.3 belongs to the US dollar forward premium/discount series in November 1980, reflecting extreme currency market volatility during that period.
