Resource: Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates Program (EDGE)
NCES’s Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates program (EDGE) makes postsecondary school location data available through these data tools and web services:
-
Geographic data homepage - This tool offers raw data files containing the coordinate points and other geospatial characteristics of postsecondary institutions.
-
Open Data Site - This service allows users to view postsecondary institutions on a map of the United States, add the postsecondary institution data layer to existing maps, or download individual components of the data layer.
-
Locale Lookup tool - This tool allows users to search for postsecondary schools and view them in the context of the NCES locale boundaries, a 12-category classification of cities, suburbs, towns, and rural areas.
