A self-updating, sourced U.S. federal-debt-per-person counter for your blog, newsletter, or classroom. Drop in two lines of HTML — it pulls the same verified data shown on the tracker and labels its own freshness, with a link back for attribution.

Paste this where you want the counter to appear. The script is loaded from debtperperson.com, so it always renders the latest verified figure and pulls its own styles and trend data.
What your readers see — and what they don't.
Sourced, never fabricated. The figure is the same verified value published on the tracker — total U.S. federal debt outstanding (U.S. Treasury) ÷ U.S. resident population (U.S. Census).
It labels its own freshness. The widget shows when the underlying data was last updated and visibly flags a stale state instead of masking it.
Attribution built in. Every embed links back to DebtPerPerson.com.
No tracking added to your page. The widget only fetches the public data file to render the number.
See the full sourcing and freshness policy in the methodology & FAQ.
