Recent HRS Data Releases and Updates


The following data products are now available on the HRS website:


Restricted Data Releases and Updates


The Child Zip Codes (2004-2016) file V7.0 has been updated to include data through 2016. This data set contains location information (city, state and zip code) reported by respondents about children living more than 10 miles from the respondents. Refer to the Data Description for more information. 

The Industry and Occupation Data (V5) now includes data through 2016. This restricted data product contains one dataset that provides detailed respondent-level industry and occupation information for interview years 1992 through 2016. These variables are masked in all public files.

The Health and Retirement Study Contextual Data Resource (HRS-CDR) is a collection of user-friendly datasets that enable researchers to study the impact of place on health and well-being among HRS respondents. Recent HRS-CDR releases are listed below. 

The  COVID-19 US State Policy Database (CUSP)  is maintained by researchers from Boston University School of Public Health and is available for linkage to HRS for users approved for state-level geography. The COVID-19 US State Policy Database contains state-wide policies related to COVID-19 mitigation and control, including stay at home orders, closing of non-essential businesses, and school closures. The database also contains policies that aim to protect vulnerable populations from the wide range of health and economic consequences of the pandemic, including changes to Medicaid, eviction freezes, and changes to unemployment insurance. For each policy in question, research assistants collect the date it went into effect in each state based on executive orders, mandates, and/or press releases. This data product will be periodically updated in consultation with researchers from Boston University.

The HRS-CDR Uniform Crime Reporting Program data (V2) were created by a joint project of the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The data includes county-level counts of offenses for the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) index crimes including murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft, and arson. Data are available at county level and organized by time (year: 1994-2016).

The HRS-CDR USDA Food Access Information dataset (V2) contains information from the United States Department of Agriculture related to food access at the state, census tract and county level. This information is linked to HRS detailed geographic indicators derived from respondent addresses.

Questions, comments or concerns about the above data products should be directed to the HRS Help Desk at hrsquestions@umich.edu.
