NCR-STAT

North Central Regional Database

NCR-Stat is a North Central Regional database developed by NCRCRD as a venue and incentive for interdisciplinary collaboration across states and across research and Extension. All datasets are open access.

The purpose of the NCR-Stat database is to decrease the barriers for institutions to study regional changes and conduct comparative research, as well as increase regional collaboration for both research and Extension. In addition to conducting the surveys, NCRCRD facilitates regional collaboration for survey development, data collection methods, data analysis that leads to publications, and educational curricula.

NCR-Stat Surveys

NCRCRD's initial North Central Region household survey that provides baseline data on economic and social topics.

The NCR-Stat: Caregiving Survey focuses on individuals and families who provide child, adult, and elder care and how caregiving affects economic development and quality of life in the North Central Region.

The NCR-Stat: Small Business Survey focuses on the intersection of small businesses, benefits, and rural health in the North Central Region.

NCR-Stat: Baseline Survey 2024 explores essential topics related to household, business, and community well-being. It is the second household, regional baseline survey conducted by NCRCRD.

STAT Surveys in other U.S. Regions

In collaboration with our sister Regional Rural Development Centers, NCRCRD conducted select NCR-Stat surveys in the Northeast, Southern, and Western regions. This innovative data initiative with the Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development (NERCRD), Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC), and the Western Regional Development Center expands research opportunities within all regions and nationally. All datasets are open access.

Stat Surveys in Other Regions

How are you using the Stat datasets?

The NCRCRD is interested in learning how people use the Stat datasets. To do that we’ve created this brief survey to begin collecting citations or project descriptions that reference the Stat datasets (i.e, journal articles, online dashboards, classroom projects, etc). The information we collect through this survey will be added to an internal spreadsheet that we hope to share as a searchable database on our website in the future. We appreciate your interest and assistance in this project. Thank you!
