Find better dataset for Data Analysis activity

The current lead-in-school-water activity is great, but only has a draw for local students. It would be nice to use a national, or even world-wide dataset so that the activity is more accessible to students from outside Delaware, which is a small state whose very existence is in doubt.
A good dataset would have:
- at least county-level US data
- be accessible via API
- be updated relatively regularly
- have some draw to it
- be about events that most people have some understanding of (e.g. maybe not voting)
- would be better if comparable across the planet, but that's hard to achieve (maybe a stretch goal for the future)
Transportation data is a good candidate, but much of it has very little draw. Accident/injury/death rates per mile driven might be good.
