Open data

Our time-series data are available publicly at http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.3k502. The data are provided at four geographic levels:

  • U.S.A.
  • state
  • metropolitan region (CSA and CBSA), and
  • county

We also provide snapshots of the latest road network stock from the parcel-based and TIGER/Line data.

Available formats are Python pandas, tab-separated (.tsv) and shapefile.

We also provide network (graph) representations of the nodes in metropolitan areas of the USA in GML format.

Please refer to the two README files for full information (packaged with the data on DataDryad):
