COVID-19 Community Data Resources Portal | The Community Data Program

The COVID-19 Community Data Resources Portal is a collection of resources for tracking data related to COVID-19. We will be updating this page regularly with news article links and new data resources as they become available.

We invite Community Data Program members to contact us with requests for COVID-19 community vulnerability data resources available from our catalogue.

Version 3.0 of the Community Recovery Dashboard is now available from the CDP catalogue!

The Community Recovery Dashboard is a Tableau dashboard, created to provide a monitoring tool for medium and long term COVID-19 recovery. The latest version of the Community Recovery Dashboard can be downloaded here.
