We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Socioeconomics Data Access and Tools
NASA has socioeconomics datasets that help researchers characterize the population, infrastructure, land use, poverty, natural resources, disaster and pollution risk, and other aspects of communities. Access a range of data and data tools such as Worldview and POPGRID Mapper.
