The National Priorities Project Database offers state data on socio-economic needs and federal expenditures, and allows the user to create customized tables, graphs and reports. The database is searchable by issue area (e.g., income, housing, hunger) and by state. Data is also available for the U.S. as a whole. Use of the database is free, though returning visitors are asked to register (free of charge). NPP notes that it will not share or sell any of the information collected through the registration form.
