It does not distinguish between level of service like GFE, NON GFE, limited menu, open menu etc. Under normal circumstances a GFE provider would have a higher rate than a NON GFE provider.
Other factors include how busy does a provider want to be? one a day, one a week, two a day? A provider who wants to be busier would want to set a lower rate than a provider who only wants one appointment a week.
Another factor would be the type of clientele a provider desires. A provider who desires more exclusive white collar clientele would set a higher rate that a provider willing to see blue collar clientele.
This survey should be used for entertainment purposes only and most providers should use the above market factors to set their rates and not be bound by the survey. You also should look at other providers on the sites you advertise and check their rates for the level of service they provide. A provider than can accordingly set their rates to be competitive. This helps with the casual hobbyist.
But I just found it today and was definitely interested... my question: how do they determine their data? Based on reports... from whom? And how many? How accurate can something like this be?
They took a large enough sample (statistically speaking)of providers in each city either by calling, checking posted rates, talking to clients, or setting up appointments and going through with them.
Once this is done, they take the average and throw out all the outliers. Eventually you should have a new average. If your sample is large enough the average you have should be quite close to the actual average of the entire population.
Just by looking at the averages for my home hobby base it apears Craigs List was also part of the sample. Providers on CL tend to have lower rates, that would tend to pull the average down.
STATISTICS 245 was a long time ago but at least it finally came to good use.

Good site. Interesting to see they have a provider price predictor. I guess in a few years the futures market will have a provider price futures contract, lol.
The SEXEC Index is for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY - so I suspect that this represents a look at what is published. In looking at the price for my city, the numbers are a bit low... making me think that they go across all published lines (print and internet)... and include AMPs etc.
Also, notice that a lot of the priciest markets are places with a lot of visitors.
Traveling APSs probably have the best handle on comparisons at their particular looks/service point.
I am somewhat faniliar with Denver and Phoenix. The differential for those two looks about right to me, even adjusted for looks/service. There are many more higher-priced ASPs in Phoenix, but they are generally very hot also. In addiiton, hotels can get pretty pricey in Phoenix in the winter.
