The Commerce Department collects, stores, and analyzes a wealth of information, including data on the Nation’s economy, population, and environment. These data go to the core of the Department’s mission.

As America’s Data Agency, the Department of Commerce is using its data to spur innovation inside and outside the Federal Government and promote greater prosperity across the country.

America's Data Agency

Creating a robust economy requires an enormous amount of data, and we are the nation’s preeminent producer of public data. More than 30 million U.S. business enterprises, 325 million Americans, and 93,000 tribal, state, and local governments rely on our data to make informed decisions.

The information and data we produce shape fiscal and monetary policy and operational decisions that improve the nation’s social and economic conditions. Annually, more than $1 trillion in federal funds are distributed to states and localities, in whole or in part, using data produced by the Department.

Commerce Geospatial Strategic Action Plan

The Commerce Geospatial Strategy and Strategic Action Plan apply to geospatial data or data that is tied to a location on Earth. These include environmental data, program data, statistical data, and mission-support data, such as administrative, financial, performance, and workforce data, as well as the derived information, products, and services. Data collected by a Commerce bureau through a partnership program will be subject to the relevant bureau’s geospatial data guidelines; however, these data will only be in scope for the Commerce Geospatial Data Strategy and Strategic Action Plan if they are stored in data systems managed by Commerce agencies.
