US DataLabs

To support our mission of promoting government accountability across all states, Pioneer Institute has developed US DataLabs – a comprehensive online platform that provides state-level data across key policy areas, including Government, Economy, Education, Population, Energy, Infrastructure, Crime & Justice, Taxation, and Health. The site offers trend analysis, comparisons, and state rankings, enabling residents, academics, and journalists to evaluate public policy decisions using reliable, fact-based insights.

Our goal is to provide a platform that enables users to compare states across a variety of measures and leverage these insights to challenge the status quo. Our site is designed to empower users to ask informed, data-driven questions of public leaders. As active members of the public, we have not only the right but the responsibility to hold elected officials and policymakers accountable for their performance and drive continuous improvement.

US DataLabs consists of Tableau applications, arranged in nine topic areas, Each application has between 2-7 dashboards, and each dashboard contains between 1-5 graphs and charts.  The site also offers a peer finder so users can determine peer states based on the metrics they choose.
