U.S. Statistics

General Information: U.S. government

The Statistical abstract of the United States is the single best data source for beginning a search. Published by the U.S. Census Bureau, it is an annual compilation of data on a wide variety of topics. Most data has been collected by U.S. government agencies but it also includes authoritative data from other sources as well as core data on other countries and international comparison tables. The Statistical Abstract is extensively footnoted and so it may be used to identify more detailed sources of information or to learn who collects the statistics of interest.
