Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

The claim that the Hubble constant can be measured locally is well-supported by multiple studies utilizing local distance ladders and astronomical objects like Cepheid variables and supernovae.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains numerous papers demonstrating and discussing the measurement of the Hubble constant using local indicators such as Cepheid variables, supernovae, and the local distance ladder. Although there is an ongoing discussion regarding systematic uncertainties and the 'Hubble tension' with early-universe measurements (such as the CMB), the feasibility of local measurement itself is robustly supported across multiple decades of research.
