Reports

The reports folder contains reports from previous Scenario Modeling Hub rounds, starting round 1 2025-2026. At the time they were produced, some of these reports were intended to be shared only with certain stakeholders and have disclaimers to that effect. All reports have since become publicly available.

Each report contains an executive summary with key messages and results, and analyses of ensemble and individual projections. Results at national and state level are available for all targets.

For round 1 to round 1 2024-2025 (round 5), the report are available in the FLU Scenario Modeling Hub Archive Repository, folder code/reports.

Location and Census Data

The folder data-locations/ contains one csv files:

• locations.csv containing the state and national names, 2 letter abbreviation and fips code as used in the hub. The file also contains the population size.

Target Data Archive

The target-data_archive folder contains archive of the target-data time-series data. The data are automatically updated on Monday, and the past version will be automatically moved to this folder, with the date append to the file name.

Rounds

The rounds folder contains the round information starting round 1 2025-2026 (round 6) in a markdown format with a folder names roundX_viz with X being the round number, containing associated visualization (for example, scenario table in a PNG format).
