USAFacts brought these numbers to light by sourcing and presenting the data in easy-to-read visualizations, empowering users to simply get to the facts as easily as they check the weather. Data Model USAFacts sources the hub's data from hundreds of government sources, including the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Department of Labor, and USAFacts's own trusted coronavirus case map, built from an aggregation of county-level COVID-19 data from state and local public health departments. It then standardizes, designs, and publishes in accessible formats all Americans can use.
