Description
Description
Social capital – the strength of our relationships and communities – has been shown to play an important role in outcomes ranging from income to health. Using privacy-protected data on 21 billion friendships from Facebook, we measure three types of social capital in each neighborhood, high school, and college in the United States:
- Cohesiveness: the degree to which social networks are fragmented into cliques
- Economic connectedness: the degree to which low-income and high-income people are friends with each other
- Civic engagement: rates of volunteering and participation in community organizations
The dataset is 8 MB large.
