What is this site?
It brings county-level demographic, health, and economic data together from public federal sources — Census ACS, CDC, HUD, CMS and more — so every measure is comparable across the same counties, states, and the US.
Where does the data come from?
All of it is public government data. Each source, its vintage, and its release schedule are listed on the Sources & Dashboards page, and every measure in the dataset records its exact source.
What areas does it cover?
All U.S. counties, with state and national figures for comparison. Some measures go down to the census tract level; a few are only available at the state or national level.
What is ACS-5?
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates — five years of survey responses pooled together so that even small areas have reliable numbers. It is the backbone of this site. The latest release covers 2020–2024.
How current is the data, and how often is it updated?
It varies by source. ACS-5 updates once a year (usually each December); CDC, HUD, CMS and others follow their own schedules. Each source's typical release month and lag are shown on the Sources & Dashboards page.
Can I download the data?
Yes. Each report on the Topic Reports page has a Download CSV button that exports exactly the rows and columns you see.
Is this an official government website?
No. This is an independent, non-commercial site that uses public data only. Always check the original source for official figures.
