FALL into a Pile of Data!
Rake In The Data.
The Center for Social Research at NDSU has been engaged in several analyses of the impact of COVID-19 on a variety of underserved population groups in North Dakota.

In this article, Avram Slone, research specialist with the Center for Social Research, presents findings from a study on the impact of COVID-19 on people living in group quarters (those who live in a group or congregate setting such as long term care facilities, correctional facilities, college housing, and military quarters).
Bountiful Data.
Children are considered in poverty when they live in families with incomes below 100 percent of the poverty threshold. Two of the most accepted measures for determining poverty thresholds in the United States are the Official Poverty Measure and the Supplemental Poverty Measure. While the Supplemental Poverty Measure trends lower than the Official Poverty Measure for tracking child poverty in North Dakota, both measures show a decline in child poverty over the past decade in the state.
Data to Answer Questions.
Currently in the United States, health insurance is the best way to ensure access to health care but health care coverage varies across age groups.

Which age group is less likely to have health insurance (largest proportion of people in the respective age group without health insurance)?
