The single most useful reference book containing vital statistics
on the United States
The Statistical Abstract is the single most useful reference book
containing vital statistics on the United States. It is compiled by the
Bureau of the Census and has been updated annually since 1878. Currently
it provides an extensive selection of statistics for the United States,
with selected data for States, metropolitan areas, cities, and foreign
countries from reports and records of government and private agencies.
Issued annually, this reference work is the government's most important
statistical fact book on the social, political, and economic aspects of
American life.
The 2002 edition contains over 1,600 tables and graphs
and nearly 100 new tables covering topics such as employment and wages in
the information technology industry, criminal victimization at school and
breast-feeding of infants. Although the book's emphasis is on national
data, many tables present figures for regions and individual States.
Should the reader need further information, the Statistical Abstract
furnishes titles of additional statistical publications and sources.
