The Community Explorer provides new insights and data on the characteristics and diversityof theUS population. Using machine learning methods, it synthesizes the informationof751 variables across 3,142 counties fromthe US Census Bureau's American Community Surveyinto 17 communities. Each one of these communities has a distinctive profilethat combines demographic, socio-economic, and cultural behavioral determinantswhile not being geographically bounded. We encouragepolicymakers and researchers to makeuse of theresults of our analysis. The Community Explorer dashboard provides the location of these profiles, allowing fortargeted deployment of community interventions and, more broadly, increasing the understanding of socioeconomic gaps withing the US.
