Administrative Data Research Facilities Site

This repository replaces the Administrative Data Research Facilities (ADRF) website.

About

Across multiple disciplines, from healthcare to justice to poverty to housing, there are projects that benefit greatly from use of the administrative datasets made available by the government. Our project seeks to clean and combine two of these administrative datasets and then build an easily accessible, open source, cloud-based platform that can be used by social scientists to analyze the data. This was a joint effort between Urban's Housing Finance Policy Center and the Data Science and Technology team at Urban.

This project was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The Data

The project explored data collection and sampling from public sources that offer robust information regarding mortgages, people and place. We have standardized and linked key data variables over time from two government data sources, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and the Census American Community Survey (ACS).

Spark for Social Science

SPARK FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE Urban has developed an elastic and powerful approach to the analysis of massive datasets using Amazon Web Services’ Elastic MapReduce (EMR) and the Spark framework for distributed memory and processing. For tutorials and to use Spark to analyze the linked datasets we’ve created using HMDA and ACS data, visit our project on GitHub.
