Missouri Apprenticeships

This layer displays the location of various apprenticeship programs throughout the state of Missouri. Registered Apprenticeship is a highly flexible “earn while you learn” training model for employment that pays more as a worker (apprentice) reaches higher productivity levels. In addition to rewarding performance, Registered Apprenticeship combines employer-driven job-related instruction with extensive on-the-job learning under the supervision of a trade professional. After completing a Registered Apprenticeship, the apprentice receives a nationally-recognized occupational credential that communicates the standards and high level of training that their employer provides.

Missouri Commuters

This layer displays commuting connections between US Census Tracts. Each line represents a minimum of 20 commuters between any two tracts. Direction is not displayed, with the exception of commuters who live outside of the state of Missouri and commute into the state. Data was aggregated from the census block level using the LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) dataset (2017). Some tracts have two connections (with each tract acting as an origin and destination for at least 20 commuters), and the lines are overlayed, others have only one connection and there is a single line connecting them, however this detail is not possible to discern with this dataset. Limitations of this dataset include the lack of directionality, and the overall abundance of commuters between any two tracts. Thus, this dataset should be used for visual analysis only.

Missouri Area Career Centers

This layer displays the location of Area Career Centers (ACCs) in Missouri. Area Career Centers provide Career and Technical Training for students from participating high schools and community colleges. Courses often include Culinary and Hospitality Management, Building Trades, Electrical Technologies, Early Education, and others, but vary from center to center. Contact your local ACC for more information on what courses are offered.

National Risk Index

The National Risk Index (NRI) is a dataset and an application that help identify communities most at-risk for natural hazards. The NRI leverages available source data for 18 natural hazards, social vulnerability, and community resilience to develop a baseline relative risk measurement for each United Statescounty and Census tract. The NRI is intended to help users better understand the natural hazard risk of their communities or assigned areas.

COVID-19 Facility Hospitalizations

This layer displays the number of COVID patients as a percent of overall patients admitted to a particular hospital. Hospitals are reporting admission information to the Department of Health and Human Services where it is compiled and released weekly. The dataset releases information by the sum total of an indicator, the daily mean of an indicator, and the number of days reported in that week. The percent of covid admissions was calculated by:

Value = ([SUM Adult Inpatient Covid Admissions]/[SUM Total Adult Inpatient Admissions]) * 100

Symbols in this layer are also sized based on the overall bed capacity of a hospital.

Only hospitals reporting COVID-19 Case data are included on this map.

FCC Broadband Access

This layer displays Broadband access information at the County, Tract, and Block Group Level as of June, 2019.

High-Speed Internet, Maximum Download Speeds

This layer displays the maximum advertised download speed available from fixed internet (DSL, cable, fiber, etc.) and terrestrial/fixed wireless internet providers. Data are from the August, 2019 release of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Fixed Broadband Deployment Dataset and reflect conditions as of June 2018. Data are reported by census block (centroid).
