What is Data Doughnut?
Data Doughnut lines up public U.S. government data — Census, Medicare, HUD, FEMA, NOAA, Labor, USDA, FCC, Congress and more — by place and by facility, so people who work with places can answer questions without stitching dozens of agency files together. It's for health care operators and lenders, site selectors, rural developers, disaster planners, and policy teams. We're a small company near Sikeston, Missouri.
The problem it solves
Public data is free but scattered. A county's people are at the Census Bureau, its nursing homes at Medicare, its flood history at FEMA and NOAA, its jobs at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, its housing at HUD, its internet at the FCC, and its lawmakers in Congress's records — each with its own codes, years, and file formats. We gather those sources, clean them, and connect them by place (state, county, ZIP, metro, census tract) and by facility (Medicare provider numbers, HUD property IDs), so one question gets one answer with every source named.
Who it's for
People who work with places: nursing home and hospital operators, health care lenders and buyers, site selectors and franchise teams, rural developers and grant writers, disaster planners, and policy and government-affairs teams.
How it's organized: desks
Desks first, catalog second. Each desk is a job (CareSite Ops, Health Care Loans & Sales, Health Markets, Region Brief, Business & Site Planning, Disaster Readiness, Rural Development, Legislative) with its own pages; the catalog lists every public source with its agency, years, and columns.
- Region Brief — Profile any county, metro, or state — and see how it compares
- CareSite Ops — See which nursing homes need help first
- Health Markets — See which areas are growing and where care is thin
- Health Care Loans & Sales — See the buildings, deals, and operators behind care-facility loans and sales
- Business & Site Planning — Size up a place for a business
- Disaster Readiness — See which hazards threaten a place, who needs help, and how ready it is
- Rural Development — See how a rural place is doing, what it qualifies for, and where the money is
- Legislative — See what laws and rules are changing, and who decides
- Farm & Food Markets — See which food categories are about to get more expensive, and why
- Second Look — Line up public records from different agencies and see where they don't match
Where the data comes from
318 public sources from agencies including Census Bureau, Medicare (CMS), HUD, FEMA, NOAA, Bureau of Labor Statistics, USDA, FCC, HRSA, CDC, FDIC, Congress. Every number on a page names its source and year. The data catalog lists every source with its agency, years, geography, and columns, with a free preview of each.
Agency facts and our estimates
Agency facts are the doughnut. Anything we compute — risk scores, ZIP fit, 10-year business and job estimates, place types and market types, closed-hospital lists, watch flags — is frosting: our reading of the facts, labeled as ours. Pages mark which is which, so you always know what came straight from an agency.
