To understand the impact and better prepare for future outbreaks, socioeconomic factors play significant roles in (1) determinant analysis with health care, environmental exposure and health behavior; (2) human mobility analyses driven by policies; (3) economic pressure and recovery analyses for decision making; and (4) short to long term social impact analysis for equity, justice and diversity. To support these analyses for rapid impact responses, state level socioeconomic factors for the United States of America (USA) are collected and integrated into topic-based indicators, including (1) the daily quantitative policy stringency index; (2) dynamic economic indices with multiple time frequency of GDP, international trade, personal income, employment, the housing market, and others; (3) the socioeconomic determinant baseline of the demographic, housing financial situation and medical resources. This paper introduces the measurements and metadata of relevant socioeconomic data collection, along with the sharing platform, data warehouse framework and quality control strategies. Different from existing COVID-19 related data products, this collection recognized the geospatial and dynamic factor as essential dimensions of epidemiologic research and scaled down the spatial resolution of socioeconomic data collection from country level to state level of the USA with a standard data format and high quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data5040118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,13]],"date-time":"2020-12-13T20:56:57Z","timestamp":1607893017000},"page":"118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A State-Level Socioeconomic Data Collection of the United States for COVID-19 Research"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6161-6050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dexuan","family":"Sha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"Anusha Srirenganathan","family":"Malarvizhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3876-4877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qian","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"Yifei","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"You","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0279-4719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shiyang","family":"Ruan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"Kyla","family":"Carte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4119-4388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hai","family":"Lan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7183-5166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zifu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7768-4066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chaowei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"533","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(20)30120-1","article-title":"An interactive web-based dashboard to track COVID-19 in real time","volume":"20","author":"Dong","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Infect.
