Argonne Enhances Data Portal for Economic Resilience Research
==========

Argonne National Laboratory has enhanced the National Economic Resilience Data Explorer (NERDE), an online data portal that helps community leaders and administrators understand their communities' economic strengths and vulnerabilities. The enhanced version of NERDE makes it easier for users to create economic development plans, improve resilience, and apply for economic assistance and grants. The data portal provides information on local economic distress, employment, gross domestic product, industry clusters, climate risk, innovation, and more for over 3,000 counties and every economic development district in the United States. The upgrade includes new features such as easier comparison of community strengths and weaknesses, tool tips to explain the importance of metrics, and a redesigned local snapshot called 'My Community Report'. The new edition also provides access to additional data, including the Economic Development Capacity Index, patent claims, Small Business Innovation Research grants, climate change risks, and U.S. Census trade data. The upgrade was developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration.
