Explore 2024 State Social & Living Data

The 2024 State Social & Living Heat Maps provide a clear, data-driven view of how everyday life compares across all 50 U.S. states. These maps visualize the latest figures on population, poverty, unemployment, education, income, rent, and housing, revealing both regional strengths and persistent challenges. By shading states according to their relative standing — darker tones indicating higher values or greater rates — users can quickly see where disparities in opportunity, affordability, and well-being are most pronounced.

All figures are drawn from trusted federal sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, HUD, and the American Community Survey (ACS), ensuring data quality and consistency across categories. Together, these heat maps make complex social data accessible and comparable, helping policymakers, researchers, and citizens alike understand the forces shaping communities in 2024.
