1,400 | 2022.05.04 | 1 | Wastewater treatment plants. | The HydroWASTE dataset, developed by McGill University geographers and engineers, describes 58,000+ wastewater treatment plants around the world and links them to downstream river networks. Compiled from national and regional sources, HydroWASTE lists each facility’s name, country, status, estimated or official population served, geocoordinates, estimated discharge location, level of treatment, volume of discharge, and more. The US accounts for the most entries, with 14,000+, followed by Germany, Italy, France, and Brazil. [h/t Michael F.

Since then, the CDC has launched and expanded a wastewater surveillance module within its COVID data tracker, displaying historically-relative virus concentrations from hundreds of sampling sites that participate in the agency’s National Wastewater Surveillance System; you can also download the data in bulk.

In some neighborhoods, the companies own one-fifth of all such homes. To reach these findings, reporters used manual research and machine learning to compile a now-public dataset of the companies, their subsidiaries, and the parcels they control.

1,422 | 2022.06.01 | 3 | Wind and solar power. | The Global Energy Monitor’s Global Wind Power Tracker is “a worldwide dataset of utility-scale wind facilities,” focusing on those with planned or installed capacities of at least 10 megawatts. It provides each facility’s name, location, status, capacity, installation type, owner, and other details. The project launched last week alongside a sibling dataset, the Global Solar Power Tracker. They join a growing collection of trackers from the organization, including those examining coal infrastructure, steel plants, and oil and gas resources.

The project, a collaboration between the library and Ball State University, takes its name from a famous sociological study that pseudonymized Muncie as Middletown.

1,425 | 2022.06.08 | 1 | Six decades of House primaries. | In 2014, Stephen Pettigrew, Karen Owen, and Emily Wanless published a dataset of all Democratic and Republican primary election results for the US House of Representatives between 1956 and 2010. It indicates each election’s year, state, redistricting status, primary system (open, closed, semi-open, multiparty), and more. The dataset also lists each candidate’s name, gender, prior office, and votes received. In 2020, Michael G. Miller and Nicki Camberg published a follow-up dataset, adding coverage for 2012 through 2018. It uses the same variable names and structure as the earlier dataset, so that the two files can be easily combined. | https://www.stephenpettigrew.com/

1,431 | 2022.06.15 | 2 | Incarceration and redistricting. | The US Census counts prisoners as residing where they are incarcerated. In 2010, however, New York passed a law requiring the state to adjust these figures for redistricting purposes, reassigning people in state and federal prisons to their pre-incarceration addresses. Those adjusted counts, down to the Census block level, are available for 2010 and 2020. A new report from the Prison Policy Initiative and VOCAL-NY cross-references the 2020 data with the original Census numbers to determine state prison incarceration rates for each county, city, ZIP code, and other geographies. PPI says it plans to issue similar reports for other states that have enacted comparable reforms. [h/t Mike Wessler] | https://www.prisonersofthecensus.org/NYS_A9710-D.html

For each expulsion, the dataset provides “information on the expelling country, onset, duration, region, scale, category of persons expelled, and frequency.” To download it, visit the Journal of Peace Research’s replication data portal and search for “mass expulsion.” | https://www.meghanmgarrity.com/

But other factors also contribute to the physiological experience of hot weather. To that end, Keith R. Spangler et al. have created a dataset containing daily estimates of the wet-bulb globe temperature, Universal Thermal Climate Index, heat index, humidex, and other heat metrics for every county in the contiguous United States from 2000 through 2020. That first metric, for instance, was “originally developed in the 1950s to establish epidemiologically relevant thermal thresholds to prevent heat-related illnesses at US military training camps,” and takes humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed into account. | https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01405-3

Seeing those problems, the versioned-data platform DoltHub earlier this year ran a paid crowdsourcing campaign that pulled nearly 300 million prices from the published lists of roughly 1,800 hospitals into a single database.

1,470 | 2022.08.10 | 1 | Young adult migration. | Researchers at Harvard University and the Census Bureau have linked federal tax filings, Census records, and other government data to track the migration patterns of young US residents. Specifically, for each person born in the US between 1984 and 1992, the researchers compared where they lived at age 16 to where they lived at age 26. The project’s public dataset counts the approximate number who moved to/from each pair of commuting zones — overall and disaggregated by race/ethnicity and parental income level.

1,494 | 2022.09.07 | 5 | Even more street trees. | Dakota E. McCoy et al. have built a dataset of 5,000,000+ urban trees, gathered and harmonized from 63 US cities’ inventories. The level of detail differs by city, but can include the tree’s species, date planted, location, height, trunk diameter, condition, and more. The authors also provide a range of summary statistics for each city. Previously: Street trees in DIP 2020.11.18, DIP 2018.08.08, and DIP 2016.11.16.

1,495 | 2022.09.14 | 1 | Congress gets an official API. | The United States’ legislative branch now has an official API, the Library of Congress announced last week. It provides structured data on legislators, bills, bill summaries, amendments, committee reports, appointee nominations, international treaties, and more. To use the service, you’ll need to sign up for a free API key. Read more: Some context from the Congressional Data Coalition. Related: The Government Publishing Office’s bulk data on bills and bill summaries (DIP 2020.08.26) and ProPublica’s Congress API. [h/t Jackie Kazil] | https://api.congress.gov/

1,496 | 2022.09.14 | 2 | Voter ID laws. | As part of his PhD research, Tom Barton has constructed a dataset of voter identification requirements around the world. For each country and US state, the dataset indicates the type of identification needed to vote (a photo ID, non-photo ID, or just basic personal details), how many forms of identification the voter must provide, and more. Related: A detailed examination of US voter ID laws from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

1,497 | 2022.09.14 | 3 | Local internet speeds. | If you’ve tried measuring your internet speed, you might have used Ookla’s testing service. The company releases a series of quarterly datasets that summarize the test results, aggregated into geospatial tiles. (The tile sizes vary by latitude but measure roughly 2,000 feet by 2,000 feet at the equator.) For each tile, the datasets list the number of tests performed and devices tested, plus the average download speed, upload speed, and latency. As seen in: “Europe’s internet speeds are faster than ever, but not for everyone” (EDJNet) and associated dashboard. Previously: Internet speeds from the Measurement Lab (DIP 2019.05.22).

1,498 | 2022.09.14 | 4 | Art sales and ownership. | The Getty Provenance Index contains more than 2.3 million historical records relating to the sale and ownership of artworks, searchable online by artist, owner, auction house, date, and other characteristics. As part of an ongoing project to remodel the index, the Getty Research Institute has also published a subset of the records as open data. The largest of those datasets describes more than 1 million sales in Europe from the 1600s to 1945. [h/t Richard E.

The agency’s reports and datasets include three-day forecasts, sunspot predictions, solar wind observations, and more. The agency also provides dashboards for several audiences, such as the aviation community, emergency management, and “space weather enthusiasts.” [h/t oblib] | https://www.spaceweather.gov/
