Dataset Viewer

The dataset viewer is not available because its heuristics could not detect any supported data files. You can try uploading some data files, or configuring the data files location manually.

IPEDS Database

Harmonized DuckDB database of NCES Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) complete data files: every U.S. postsecondary institution from 1997 to the 2025-26 provisional release -- directory, admissions, enrollment, completions, tuition, financial aid, graduation rates, outcomes, staffing and finance.

Build pipeline by Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham (also published at paulgp85/ipeds-db); this copy is rebuilt from the datapond fork https://github.com/ian-nason/ipeds-database with the files NCES released through July 2026. Table list, row counts and the column dictionary: see DICTIONARY.md and the _metadata / _columns tables inside the file.

Query it remotely

INSTALL httpfs; LOAD httpfs;
ATTACH 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Nason/ipeds-database/resolve/main/ipeds.duckdb' AS ipeds (READ_ONLY);
SELECT year, COUNT(*) AS institutions FROM ipeds.hd GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 DESC LIMIT 5;

Or pip install datapond / pak::pak("datapond-db/datapond-r"), then connect to ipeds-db.

Upload (maintainer notes)

hf upload Nason/ipeds-database ./hf_dataset_card.md README.md --repo-type dataset
hf upload Nason/ipeds-database ./DICTIONARY.md DICTIONARY.md --repo-type dataset
hf upload Nason/ipeds-database ./ipeds.duckdb ipeds.duckdb --repo-type dataset

Then point the registry entry's huggingface/attach_url/github at the new locations and set maintainer to credit both people.
