Hey everyone,
We cleaned up and appended Placekeys to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) data that was made available by the US Small Business Association last year. The data contains information about businesses, including their name, address, city, state, zip, NAICS code, business type, number of reported jobs, and survey questions (ethnicity, gender, veteran, and for profit/not for profit), as well as information about the loan, namely the amount, approval date, and the name of the lender.
What this means for you 
If you’re interested in doing research around PPP data, you can now easily merge this with SafeGraph data by merging on the Placekey column, or you can easily merge it with any other data set you have access to, by appending Placekeys to your data.
