Inspiration

Neilsberg Research Team curates, analyze and publishes demographics and economic data from a variety of public and proprietary sources, each of which often includes multiple surveys and programs. The large majority of Neilsberg Research aggregated datasets and insights is made available for free download at https://www.neilsberg.com/research/.

This dataset focuses on the black-white wage gap in the United States. It provides insights into the disparities in hourly wages between black and white workers, as well as different gender and subgroup breakdowns.

The data is derived from the Economic Policy Institute’s State of Working America Data Library, a reputable source for socio-economic research and analysis.

US Census data describing national gender and race demographics from 2000 to 2020.

The 2000 and 2010 data is fairly straight-forward. The US census website only had the caveat that the 2010 category for "Some other race-only" may have been between (19.1-20.1 million / 6.2-6.5%) and the category for "2 or more races" may have been a range (8.0-9.0 million / 2.6-2.9%). The numbers used in the dataset were the final numbers that the US census gives as their final numbers.

The official 2020 Census data will not be released until May 2023, so the numbers given are not official yet.

2020 Gender: The gender numbers are an estimate (163.8-164.8 million female / 166.9-167.8 million male). I used numbers that kept the ratio and summed to the total population. 2020 Race: The categories "Some other race-only" and "2 or more races" increased significantly for 2020. These changes are mainly due to a difference in how the race and ethnicity questions were asked. (It wasn't only because the demographics themselves changed, but mainly in how people answer the question.) The "Some other race-only" includes mostly Latino and Hispanic people (94%). The "2 or more races" category includes mostly people who are both White and another race(s) (86%). You should take this change into account when comparing an earlier census to the 2020 census. Race "Minority": Lastly, the minority category is calculated by subtracting the population of White-only, Non-Hispanic people from the total US population. Anyone who is any other race besides white AND anyone who is Latino/Hispanic would fall into the minority category.

In 2023, the around 11.1 percent of the population was living below the national poverty line in the United States. Poverty in the United StatesAs shown in the statistic above, the poverty rate among all people living in the United States has shifted within the last 15 years. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines poverty as follows: “Absolute poverty measures poverty in relation to the amount of money necessary to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. The concept of absolute poverty is not concerned with broader quality of life issues or with the overall level of inequality in society.” The poverty rate in the United States varies widely across different ethnic groups. American Indians and Alaska Natives are the ethnic group with the most people living in poverty in 2022, with about 25 percent of the population earning an income below the poverty line. In comparison to that, only 8.6 percent of the White (non-Hispanic) population and the Asian population were living below the poverty line in 2022. Children are one of the most poverty endangered population groups in the U.S. between 1990 and 2022. Child poverty peaked in 1993 with 22.7 percent of children living in poverty in that year in the United States. Between 2000 and 2010, the child poverty rate in the United States was increasing every year; however,this rate was down to 15 percent in 2022. The number of people living in poverty in the U.S. varies from state to state. Compared to California, where about 4.44 million people were living in poverty in 2022, the state of Minnesota had about 429,000 people living in poverty.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fish Passage Facility, located on the White River, Washington State, collects upstream-migrating fish and transfers them to trucks, allowing the fish to access the watershed upstream of Mud Mountain Dam. The structure, constructed in 2019, includes an impoundment held by gates that can be raised or lowered remotely. Those gates are typically lowered during higher flows to allow sediment trapped in the impoundment to flush downstream. Starting in 2020, the USGS collected repeat bathymetric surveys of the White River in the immediate vicinity of the facility to help document how the local channel bed responded to various gate operation strategies. Surveys were generally conducted as soon as possible after high flows that exceeded 4,000 ft3/s. Surveys were conducted using acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs) mounted on a remote-control boat, providing XY-depth data, combined with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys used to measure ...

Note: DPH is updating and streamlining the COVID-19 cases, deaths, and testing data. As of 6/27/2022, the data will be published in four tables instead of twelve.

The COVID-19 Town Metrics dataset contains 16 columns of data. This dataset is updated daily and currently contains information starting June 16, 2022 to the present. The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Town-Level-Data/icxw-cada . To protect confidentiality, if a town has fewer than 5 cases or positive NAAT tests over the past 7 days, those data will be suppressed.

COVID-19 cases and associated deaths that have been reported among Connecticut residents, broken down by race and ethnicity. All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected. Deaths reported to the either the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) or Department of Public Health (DPH) are included in the COVID-19 update.

The following data show the number of COVID-19 cases and associated deaths per 100,000 population by race and ethnicity. Crude rates represent the total cases or deaths per 100,000 people. Age-adjusted rates consider the age of the person at diagnosis or death when estimating the rate and use a standardized population to provide a fair comparison between population groups with different age distributions. Age-adjustment is important in Connecticut as the median age of among the non-Hispanic white population is 47 years, whereas it is 34 years among non-Hispanic blacks, and 29 years among Hispanics. Because most non-Hispanic white residents who died were over 75 years of age, the age-adjusted rates are lower than the unadjusted rates. In contrast, Hispanic residents who died tend to be younger than 75 years of age which results in higher age-adjusted rates.

The population data used to calculate rates is based on the CT DPH population statistics for 2019, which is available online here: https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Health-Information-Systems--Reporting/Population/Population-Statistics. Prior to 5/10/2021, the population estimates from 2018 were used.

Rates are standardized to the 2000 US Millions Standard population (data available here: https://seer.cancer.gov/stdpopulations/). Standardization was done using 19 age groups (0, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, ..., 80-84, 85 years and older). More information about direct standardization for age adjustment is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/statnt/statnt06rv.pdf

Categories are mutually exclusive. The category “multiracial” includes people who answered ‘yes’ to more than one race category. Counts may not add up to total case counts as data on race and ethnicity may be missing. Age adjusted rates calculated only for groups with more than 20 deaths. Abbreviation: NH=Non-Hispanic.

Data on Connecticut deaths were obtained from the Connecticut Deaths Registry maintained by the DPH Office of Vital Records. Cause of death was determined by a death certifier (e.g., physician, APRN, medical examiner) using their best clinical judgment. Additionally, all COVID-19 deaths, including suspected or related, are required to be reported to OCME. On April 4, 2020, CT DPH and OCME released a joint memo to providers and facilities within Connecticut providing guidelines for certifying deaths due to COVID-19 that were consistent with the CDC’s guidelines and a reminder of the required reporting to OCME.25,26 As of July 1, 2021, OCME had reviewed every case reported and performed additional investigation on about one-third of reported deaths to better ascertain if COVID-19 did or did not cause or contribute to the death. Some of these investigations resulted in the OCME performing postmortem swabs for PCR testing on individuals whose deaths were suspected to be due to COVID-19, but antemortem diagnosis was unable to be made.31 The OCME issued or re-issued about 10% of COVID-19 death certificates and, when appropriate, removed COVID-19 from the death certificate. For standardization and tabulation of mortality statistics, written cause of death statements made by the certifiers on death certificates are sent to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) at the CDC which assigns cause of death codes according to the International Causes of Disease 10th Revision (ICD-10) classification system.25,26 COVID-19 deaths in this report are defined as those for which the death certificate has an ICD-10 code of U07.1 as either a primary (underlying) or a contributing cause of death. More information on COVID-19 mortality can be found at the following link: https://portal.ct.gov/DPH/Health-Information-Systems--Reporting/Mortality/Mortality-Statistics

Dataset, GDB, and Online Map created by Renee Haley, NMCDC, May 2023 DATA ACQUISITION PROCESS

Scope and purpose of project: New Mexico is struggling to maintain its healthcare workforce, particularly in Rural areas. This project was undertaken with the intent of looking at flows of healthcare workers into and out of New Mexico at the most granular geographic level possible. This dataset, in combination with others (such as housing cost and availability data) may help us understand where our healthcare workforce is relocating and why.

The most relevant and detailed data on workforce indicators in the United States is housed by the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics, LEHD, System. Information on this system is available here:

https://lehd.ces.census.gov/

The Job-to-Job flows explorer within this system was used to download the data. Information on the J2J explorer can ve found here:

https://j2jexplorer.ces.census.gov/explore.html#1432012

The dataset was built from data queried with the LED Extraction Tool, which allows for the query of more intersectional and detailed data than the explorer. This is a link to the LED extraction tool:

https://ledextract.ces.census.gov/

The geographies used are US Metro areas as determined by the Census, (N=389). The shapefile is named lehd_shp_gb.zip, and can be downloaded under this section of the following webpage: 5.5. Job-to-Job Flow Geographies, 5.5.1. Metropolitan (Complete). A link to the download site is available below:

https://lehd.ces.census.gov/data/schema/j2j_latest/lehd_shapefiles.html

DATA CLEANING PROCESS

This dataset was built from 8 non intersectional datasets downloaded from the LED Extraction Tool.

Separate datasets were downloaded in order to obtain detailed information on the race, ethnicity, and educational attainment levels of healthcare workers and where they are migrating.

Datasets included information for the four separate quarters of 2021. It was not possible to download annual data, only quarterly. Quarterly data was summed in a later step to derive annual totals for 2021.

4 datasets for healthcare workers moving OUT OF New Mexico, with details on race, ethnicity, and educational attainment, were downloaded. 1 contained information on educational attainment, 2 contained information on 7 racial categories identifying as non- Hispanic, 3 contained information on those same 7 categories also identifying as Hispanic, and 4 contained information for workers identifying as white and Hispanic.

4 datasets for healthcare worker moving INTO New Mexico, with details on race, ethnicity, and educational attainment, were downloaded with the same details outlined above.

Each dataset was cleaned according to Data Template which kept key attributes and discarded excess information. Within each dataset, the J2J Indicators reflecting 6 different types of job migration were totaled in order to simplify analysis, as this information was not needed in detail.

After cleaning, each set of 4 datasets for workers moving INTO New Mexico were joined. The process was repeated for workers moving OUT OF New Mexico. This resulted 2 main datasets.

These 2 main datasets still listed all of the variables by each quarter of 2021. Because of this the data was split in JMP, so that attributes of educational attainment, race and ethnicity, of workers migrating by quarter were moved from rows to columns. After this, summary columns for the year of 2021 were derived. This resulted in totals columns for workers identifying as: 6 separate races and all ethnicities, all races and Hispanic, white-Hispanic, and workers of 6 different education levels, reflecting how many workers of each indicator migrated to and from metro areas in New Mexico in 2021.

The data split transposed duplicate rows reflecting differing worker attributes within the same metro area, resulting in one row for each metro area and reflecting the attributes in columns, thus resulting in a mappable dataset.

The 2 datasets were joined (on Metro Area) resulting in one master file containing information on healthcare workers entering and leaving New Mexico.

Rows (N=389) reflect all of the metro areas across the US, and each state. Rows include the 5 metro areas within New Mexico, and New Mexico State.

Columns (N=99) contain information on worker race, ethnicity and educational attainment, specific to each metro area in New Mexico.

78 of these rows reflect workers of specific attributes moving OUT OF the 5 specific Metro Areas in New Mexico and totals for NM State. This level of detail is intended for analyzing who is leaving what area of New Mexico, where they are going to, and why.

13 Columns reflect each worker attribute for healthcare workers moving INTO New Mexico by race, ethnicity and education level. Because all 5 metro areas and New Mexico state are contained in the rows, this information for incoming workers is available by metro area and at the state level - there is less possability for mapping these attributes since it was not realistic or possible to create a dataset reflecting all of these variables for every healthcare worker from every metro area in the US also coming into New Mexico (that dataset would have over 1,000 columns and be unmappable). Therefore this dataset is easier to utilize in looking at why workers are leaving the state but also includes detailed information on who is coming in.

The remaining 8 columns contain geographic information.

GIS AND MAPPING PROCESS

The master file was opened in Arc GIS Pro and the Shapefile of US Metro Areas was also imported

The excel file was joined to the shapefile by Metro Area Name as they matched exactly

The resulting layer was exported as a GDB in order to retain null values which would turn to zeros if exported as a shapefile.

This GDB was uploaded to Arc GIS Online, Aliases were inserted as column header names, and the layer was visualized as desired.

SYSTEMS USED

MS Excel was used for data cleaning, summing NM state totals, and summing quarterly to annual data.

JMP was used to transpose, join, and split data.

ARC GIS Desktop was used to create the shapefile uploaded to NMCDC's online platform.

Statewide (New

In 2022, there were 313,017 cases filed by the NCIC where the race of the reported missing was White. In the same year, 18,928 people were missing whose race was unknown.

What is the NCIC?

The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) is a digital database that stores crime data for the United States, so criminal justice agencies can access it. As a part of the FBI, it helps criminal justice professionals find criminals, missing people, stolen property, and terrorists. The NCIC database is broken down into 21 files. Seven files belong to stolen property and items, and 14 belong to persons, including the National Sex Offender Register, Missing Person, and Identify Theft. It works alongside federal, tribal, state, and local agencies. The NCIC’s goal is to maintain a centralized information system between local branches and offices, so information is easily accessible nationwide.

Missing people in the United States

A person is considered missing when they have disappeared and their location is unknown. A person who is considered missing might have left voluntarily, but that is not always the case. The number of the NCIC unidentified person files in the United States has fluctuated since 1990, and in 2022, there were slightly more NCIC missing person files for males as compared to females. Fortunately, the number of NCIC missing person files has been mostly decreasing since 1998.

After over two years of public reporting, the State Profile Report will no longer be produced and distributed after February 2023. The final release was on February 23, 2023. We want to thank everyone who contributed to the design, production, and review of this report and we hope that it provided insight into the data trends throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Data about COVID-19 will continue to be updated at CDC’s COVID Data Tracker.

The State Profile Report (SPR) is generated by the Data Strategy and Execution Workgroup in the Joint Coordination Cell, in collaboration with the White House. It is managed by an interagency team with representatives from multiple agencies and offices (including the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, and the Indian Health Service). The SPR provides easily interpretable information on key indicators for each state, down to the county level.

It is a weekly snapshot in time that:

• Focuses on recent outcomes in the last seven days and changes relative to the month prior
• Provides additional contextual information at the county level for each state, and includes national level information
• Supports rapid visual interpretation of results with color thresholds

IntroductionCommunity-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major health concern in the United States (US), with its incidence, severity, and outcomes influenced by social determinants of health, including socioeconomic status. The impact of neighborhood socioeconomic status, as measured by the Distressed Communities Index (DCI), on CAP-related admissions remains understudied in the literature.ObjectiveTo determine the independent association between DCI and CAP-related admissions in Maryland.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study using the Maryland State Inpatient Database (SID) to collate data on CAP-related admissions from January 2018 to December 2020. The study included adults aged 18–85 years. We explored the independent association between community-level economic deprivation based on DCI quintiles and CAP-related admissions, adjusting for significant covariates.ResultsIn the study period, 61,467 cases of CAP-related admissions were identified. The patients were predominantly White (49.7%) and female (52.4%), with 48.6% being over 65 years old. A substantive association was found between the DCI and CAP-related admissions. Compared to prosperous neighborhoods, patients living in economically deprived communities had 43% increased odds of CAP-related admissions.ConclusionResidents of the poorest neighborhoods in Maryland have the highest risk of CAP-related admissions, emphasizing the need to develop effective public health strategies beneficial to the at-risk patient population.
