About

Connect Claude to government data organized and maintained by USAFacts. Ask questions about the state of the nation and get answers centered in real data from dozens of federal sources like the Census Bureau, BLS, and Treasury, with added context to help Claude interpret and explain the numbers.

Start any prompt with "use usafacts" to use the connector. Then ask about topics like unemployment, housing, inflation, federal spending, and the national debt.

Not sure where to start? Try these prompts:

- What's the national debt, and how fast is it growing?

- How does unemployment in my state compare to the national rate?

- What's actually driving inflation right now... rent, groceries, or something else?

- Where does federal spending go, and which agencies spend the most?

- How is the population in my state changing?

We're starting with economic data and adding more government datasets over time. Learn more about this connector and see what data is currently available: https://usafacts.org/claude-connector/
