Links to some good public data sources

(< - back home)

As someone who’s trying to build skills around data visualization and data analysis, I’ve gotten somewhat frustrated at not being able to find data to work with. There’s a lot of publically available data out there, in formats that are intended to be useful, but it’s sometimes hard to find.

Here’s a small list of publically available data sources, of variable quality. DM me on Twitter or open a pull request if you have any sources you’d like to contribute!

This list is currently loosely sorted by ‘type’ of data.

Crime and Justice

Health
