NaNDA's highly-anticipated Hospitals dataset is here! We have counts and density measures of hospitals by US census tract and ZCTA for the year 2023. Download it for free: doi.org/10.3886/E222...

🔍 Missing data in NaNDA? Let’s talk! Some density variables have gaps—not a glitch, but geography! Zero-population tracts, missing land area, and more. We break it down: 📖 nanda.isr.umich.edu/2025/04/01/missingness/ #OpenData #GIS #NaNDA #DataMysteries

Head over to OpenICPSR to access recent Land Cover data from NaNDA! This data covers the years 1985-2023 and contains measures of the total square meters of land cover types at the selected geography as well as a proportion of all land within the census tract or ZCTA. doi.org/10.3886/E220...

"Tract or ZCTA?" That is the question! We’ve been fielding tons of geography questions, so we wrote a blog post to help you navigate the maze of Tract10 vs. Tract20 and ZCTA10 vs. ZCTA20. Think of it as your GPS for choosing the right geography. nanda.isr.umich.edu/2025/03/25/u... #NaNDA #datatips
