This report reflects the findings of a high-level assessment of the Statista platform for its conformance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 (WCAG 2.1). Statista has made marked accessibility improvements to the system since our last evaluation. The previous issues that were found in July 2022 have been addressed, and the database is much more navigable. However, there are a few new issues that we were able to raise with this version of the system, particularly when it comes to keyboard navigation. Below these issues are detailed to aid in improving system compliance.

Top Issues:

1. Keyboard Navigation: The biggest finding with the site is the few instances of keyboard navigation issues that should be relatively easy to resolve. These mostly occur on the search results page where some functionality is inaccessible for keyboard users. This also occurs in the data visualization that was reviewed. Accessible data visualizations are very complicated and can be difficult to resolve, so it will be important to work with an accessibility expert to remedy.
2. Minor Issues: There are some instances of labeling and identification issues on the search results page that are easily solvable, and one minor color contrast issue on the individual result page.
