New from NaNDA: Broadband Availability by Census Tract & ZCTA, 2025 🗺️📶
doi.org/10.3886/ICPS...

Our 2014–2020 broadband dataset is one of our most-used (1,356 downloads, 5 publications) — and now it's updated. Neighborhood-level internet access data, free at @icpsr.bsky.social @um-src.bsky.social

How do sidewalks and neighborhood design affect aging? ISR researcher Philippa Clarke shows how curb cuts and uneven pavement shape mobility, safety, and aging in place.

Watch the video to hear Philippa Clarke explain how community design shapes everyday aging experiences!

In the meantime, we update the data page on our website (nanda.isr.umich.edu) ourselves. We also have a News page with updates that folks can subscribe to. Apologies do the confusion. Happy researching!

@edc-data.bsky.social thank you for letting us know! The correct DOI is: doi.org/10.3886/ICPS.... We have a support ticket in with @icpsr.bsky.social about the datasets not showing up on our repository page. 🤞🏼it will be fixed soon.

Opinion | Data shows a new remedy for the opioid crisis Counties with easy access to weed have far fewer opioid deaths. That’s not a coincidence.

Those dispensaries everywhere? They might be saving lives 🏪

💊New @washingtonpost.com opinion piece uses @umnanda.bsky.social data: counties with their first dispensary saw opioid deaths drop ~30% vs counties without.

🏠Your ZIP code shapes heart health in surprising ways.

New paper: MORE grocery stores = HIGHER heart disease risk for people with disabilities. Why? Proximity ≠ accessibility. Tight budgets + narrow aisles = barriers.
