Data include airplane service difficulty reports, storm events, FBI crime data, fatal highway accidents, problems with medical devices and federal contracts awarded to private companies. This is just a short list of the more than 30 datasets in the collection. Click here to see our full list, and download sample data and record layouts. For some of the databases, you can purchase a single state slice or a single year. Others are a compilation of many years.
All data come from federal government agencies.
Price is determined by the market size of the purchasing organization. Staff will also search our aviation data following a plane crash to find reports of service difficulties, previous accidents or incidents and registration information of that plane. The Database Library is constantly looking for unique and useful government data to add to its collection, and welcomes any suggestions from fellow journalists.
