We aim to gather a machine readable dataset related to socioeconomic factors that may affect the spread and/or consequences of epidemiological outbreaks, particularly the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This dataset is envisioned to serve the data science, machine learning, and epidemiological modeling communities.
To facilitate research on such areas, we have curated a machine readable dataset that aggregates relevant data from around 10 governmental and academic sources on the county-level.
In addition to county-level time-series data from the JHU CSSE COVID-19 Dashboard, our dataset contains more than 300 variables that summarize population estimates, demographics, ethnicity, housing, education, employment and income, climate, transit scores, and healthcare system-related metrics.
We hope that this dataset proves to be a useful resource to the community that facilitates and encourages important research on
- Epidemiological modeling and forecasting,
- Understanding the pandemic’s influence on economy and legislation but also on mental health and safety, and
- Many other critical problems not discussed here.
If you find this dataset useful, would like to contribute, or have ideas which other data sources we should consider next: Please do not hesitate to contact us.
