FALLing for Data
Bountiful Data.
Data is critical to understanding the impact of COVID-19 in North Dakota and inform the appropriate response to the wide range of challenges created by the pandemic.

In this article Ina Cernusca, research specialist with The Center for Social Research at NDSU and North Dakota Compass project director, introduces a new study on vaccine acceptance and hesitancy in North Dakota and launches the invitation to explore the associated dashboard.
Data That Shines.
North Dakota’s population of race and ethnicity other than White, non-Hispanic (i.e., American Indian, Black, Asian, two or more races, some other race, and Hispanic origin regardless of race) almost doubled in the past decade. Counties with the largest increase in diversity from 2010 to 2020 are Williams, Stark, and Cass.
More Data To Love.
During the past year, North Dakota Compass developed new resources to help North Dakota organizations and communities in their efforts to respond to the many challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these resources are two dashboards that examine the impact of the pandemic on North Dakota households with children and households that lost employment income since the beginning of the pandemic.
Data To Answer Questions.
Two North Dakota counties are the decade's most notable fast-growing counties not only in North Dakota but also in the United States.

Which are the two counties?
