NDS Geospatial Intelligence System
Where service, place, and opportunity connect.
One national gateway connecting two evidence-based views of Veteran life: community conditions by ZIP and VA disability compensation by county.
Official public data, governed methods, local meaning.
National system
Two lenses
Choose your geographic lens
One system. Two ways to understand life after service.
Each product keeps its own governed methodology while sharing one public identity and mission.
01
ZIP-level intelligence
Veteran Communities
Explore community conditions, support infrastructure, access and employment rankings, and military-installation proximity around the places Veterans call home.
- ZIP search and local profiles
- Military-installation proximity
- Support and opportunity indicators
02
County-level intelligence
Compensation by County
Explore FY 2025 VA disability compensation recipients, published rating bands, county rankings, state comparisons, and downloadable data.
- National county map
- Five ranking measures
- County and state profiles
Two measures, two meanings.
Community intelligence describes place-based conditions. Compensation intelligence reports published recipient counts and rating distributions. The gateway connects the experiences without blending their scores or implying that recipient counts are disability-prevalence rates.
