1. Veteran Resource Database

144,900+ records · 50 states + DC + PR + GU + VI + AS + MP · CC-BY 4.0 ~74% FIPS-tract geocoded URL-health-verified

Directory of VA hospitals, clinics, vet centers, benefits offices, mental-health, housing, employment, and VSO posts. Records geocoded to lat/lng (most to FIPS tract level), URL-health-probed, and (for 501(c)(3) rows) ProPublica Form 990 cross-referenced.

2. ACS Tract-Level Veteran Demographics (2022)

84,365 tracts · 50 states + DC + PR · US Census Bureau 5-year ACS

Veteran count, veteran share, poverty count + share, unemployment, median household income — all keyed on FIPS state/county/tract. Joined with our resource directory to surface service deserts (tracts with many veterans + few resources).

3. CDC PLACES Tract-Level Veteran Health Context (2023)

78,815 tracts · 50 states + DC · CDC PLACES BRFSS-modeled

Eight tract-level health prevalences relevant to veteran services — depression, poor mental health (14+ days), no health insurance, any disability, current smoking, binge drinking, obesity, diabetes — joined with veteran density + resource counts.

4. ACS Tract-Level Housing Cost Burden for Veterans (2022)

80,147 tracts · 50 states + DC + PR · US Census Bureau HUD cost-burden thresholds

Median gross rent, median home value, share of renter households paying 30%+/50%+ of income on rent (HUD rent-burdened / severely rent-burdened thresholds). Pairs with veteran density to size HUD-VASH and SSVF outreach with tract-level precision.

5. U.S. Veteran Service Deserts by County

2,002 counties · 50 states + DC + territories · CC-BY 4.0 ACS 2022 × directory join

County-ranked dataset of directory coverage for veterans — ACS 2022 tract veteran counts joined to tract-geocoded listings in our open resource directory by FIPS, aggregated to county, and scored by coverage gap (veterans per directory listing). It measures directory coverage, not whether services exist. Covers every county with 1,000+ veterans, including the county with the widest directory gap in each state.
