About This Book
Provides statistical data on fourteen demographic characteristics: 2000 Census, children, education, labor/employment, fertility, foreign-born, income/poverty, marriage/family, migration, mortality, older population, political arithmetic, estimates/projections, and race/ethnicity. Includes both the 2000 Census and the Census Bureau's monthly Current population surveys. Will be updated as data is released.
"AmeriStat bills itself as a "one-stop source for U.S. population data" covering thirteen subject areas including "Marriage & Family," "Education," "Migration," Income & Poverty," and "Mortality." After choosing one of the broad subject areas, the user is given a list of topics that leads to text, charts, and tables. Much of the supporting data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau. Sources are listed at the bottom of the web page and key concepts are linked to definitions. The clearly written explanatory text that accompanies the data makes this site more helpful than most other statistics or population web sites which may actually cover more subject areas and/or present more data."--Reviewed Apr. 12, 2001.
