Social Data

As interest in ESG grows, market participants are seeking to understand how social factors can affect their investment and the potential impact of their investment on society. ICE’s dataset helps investors measure social factors and integrate social impact data into their decision making.

Social Impact Data


ICE’s Social Impact Data provides socioeconomic and demographic insight on the municipal bond and mortgage-backed security (MBS) markets, enhancing the decision-making process for investors as they execute sustainable and socially-conscious strategies.

The dataset, which includes scores and underlying health, demographic, and geospatial metrics, helps quantify the potential social impact of a financial investment in a community. It helps identify communities with greater opportunity for improvement so that targeted investments can bring resources to vulnerable and marginalized communities - a key input to measuring and addressing progress on social and climate justice.

Features and benefits
  • Extensive coverage of U.S. municipal and MBS market: CUSIP-level coverage of ~98% of the ~$4T in outstanding municipal debt and ~95% coverage of the U.S. MBS universe.
  • Scores: The Social Impact Score is an aggregated 0-100 score that investors can use to evaluate the potential social benefit of an investment within a specific area. The score, which is a combination of seven individual metrics (each with a score of their own) quantifies the demographics and financial resources of the residents residing within a community.
  • Granular data: Other metrics are available that reflect the component demographic, health, and other geospatial data underpinning the scores.
