2021 Data Expo Challenge
The theme for the 2021 Data Expo Challenge is “Helping Families, Businesses, and Communities Respond to COVID-19.” We partnered with The Opportunity Project to establish the data set and provide the problem statement. The official challenge data set is the US Census Bureau 2019 American Community Survey one-year estimates. Contestants must present their findings at the 2021 Joint Statistical Meetings in a speed poster session.
