The Open Data 500, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation (http://www.knightfoundation.org/) and conducted by the GovLab, is the first comprehensive study of U.S. companies that use open government data to generate new business and develop new products and services.
Provide a basis for assessing the economic value of government open data
Encourage the development of new open data companies
Foster a dialogue between government and business on how government data can be made more useful
The Open Data 500 study is conducted by the GovLab at New York University with funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The GovLab works to improve people’s lives by changing how we govern, using technology-enabled solutions and a collaborative, networked approach. As part of its mission, the GovLab studies how institutions can publish the data they collect as open data so that businesses, organizations, and citizens can analyze and use this information.
The Open Data 500 team has compiled our list of companies through (1) outreach campaigns, (2) advice from experts and professional organizations, and (3) additional research.

The Open Data 500 is not a rating or ranking of companies. It covers companies of different sizes and categories, using various kinds of data.
The Open Data 500 is not a competition, but an attempt to give a broad, inclusive view of the field.
The Open Data 500 study also does not provide a random sample for definitive statistical analysis. Since this is the first thorough scan of companies in the field, it is not yet possible to determine the exact landscape of open data companies.

Notes on Local Authority Housing Statistics (LAHS) open data
These datafiles contain the underlying data used to create the main LAHS tables and reflect the latest revisions to historical LAHS data. There will therefore be some minor discrepancies when compared to individual historical publications of LAHS tables.
LAHS questions are represented in this open data file by the question codes as recorded in the latest form (the 2023-24 return). This may differ from the code they were originally assigned, but the aim is to facilitate a time series analysis. Variables that have been discontinued are usually not included in this file, with only a few exceptions where they provide information that helps understand other data.
A data dictionary for this open data can be found in the accessible Open Document Spreadsheet file
