Demographics
Demographics are statistics that relate to a population. Common demographic statisitics might look at age, income, education level, race/ethicity, etc.
Some good places to start are:
- Census Bureau - Explore DataThe Census Bureau's tool for finding demographic and business data. Use it to find statistical data on population, education, employment, housing and more.
- Bureau of Labor StatisticsThe Bureau of Labor Statistics provides labor and price related statistics including unemployment figures and the Consumer Price Index. Pull down the Subjects menu for an impressive list of subjects as well as a list of Regional Offices for more regional information.
- Census Bureau home pageAn excellent source for United States population and economic data. There are many different tools you can use at this site. Explore or ask a Reference Librarian for assistance.
