Miss America Titleholders
Miss America over the years
About this dataset
Every year, young women from across the United States compete for the title of Miss America. The competition is open to women between the ages of 17 and 25, and includes a talent portion, an interview, and a swimsuit competition (which was removed in 2018). The winner is crowned by the previous year's titleholder and goes on to tour the nation for about 20,000 miles a month, promoting her particular platform of interest.
The Miss America dataset contains information on all Miss America titleholders from 1921 to 2022. It includes columns for the year of the pageant, the name of the crowned winner, her state or district represented, awards won, talent performed, and notes about her win
