U.S.
Census Bureau
http://www.census.gov
This is the place to go for quick access to U.S. demographic information.
The U.S. Census Bureau site continues to improve as more and more
of the 2000 census information becomes available. The "State
& County Quick Facts" link helps to easily locate information
such as education and income levels of a given state. The "Access
Tools" section helps users navigate the census data. For example,
in "Access Tools" the "Census Tract Street Locator"
allows the user to very quickly identify the tract the user lives
in by simply entering his/her address. The "American Fact Finder"
helps users to easily obtain particular information by state, county,
county subdivision, or even a general "place." In addition,
the entire Census site is keyword-searchable. Considering the difficulties
of using census data in the past, this site is a remarkable asset
to those who need census information quickly.
