Digital Data

GIS is a digital platform that consumes digital datasets. We've assembled a number of curated data sources that should kickstart your projects.

  • WashU Libraries Geospatial Data Collection (local, national and global physical and political features, socioeconomic datasets, US Census)
  • Online Public Datasets (publicly maintained socioeconomic, environmental, political, health datasets at local, national, and global levels)
  • US Census (socioeconomic data collected every year by the US government at various geographic levels)
