# toddrjones/datasets

> A compilation of 100+ free datasets for social science, applied microeconomics, and data visualization, curated by an applied microeconomist. Some data is public, some requires data agreements.

- Magnitude: 4.6 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 113 total · +13 stars measured 2026-10-14, 12:36–15:19 UTC, ≈ 27 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Find a crime dataset for incident-level research
- Gather household survey data for econometric analysis
- Pick open data for visualizing migration and mobility

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-14 (UTC), 12:36–15:19: 100 → 113 stars (+13). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +27 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 113 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #175.
- About 17 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 20
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 18 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 10

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-09 … 2026-10-14: 0, 0, 0, 0, 79, 13

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-14 15:42 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
