US Census Bureau
Preeminent source of US demographic and economic statistics that contains several great resources including: - American Factfinder - provides excellent access to general population census information including a nice "search your street" feature which will display information and maps down to the census block level.
- Current Industry Reports - offers monthly, quarterly and yearly production and product shipment reports on a number of manufacturing industries such as consumer electronics, major household appliances, textiles and several more. However, be aware that not all industries are represented and some information is only available on a yearly basis.
- Economic Census - released every five years, the information found in these reports provides an excellent glimpse at industrial activity including the Industry Series report that offers separate reports for many industries and shows the number of businesses within an industry, sales volume, number of employees, and more.
- Data Access Tools - a page that provides links to statistical tools and software downloads that can be used to further analyze census information.
- IDB Summary Demographic Data - shows population estimates and projected growth rates for most countries.
- Statistical Abstracts - offers access to in-depth social and economic statistics that are updated each year. Even better this site provides access to versions of the Abstract going back to 1881.
