Getz the Dataz

Some of my favorite websites for stats:

Bureau of Transportation Statistics

Airline, Rail, Interstate, Border Crossings, Personal Travel...

American FactFinder (Census)
Population, Race, Household Size...

Bureau of Labor Statistics
especially the American Time Use Survey

Economic Census
There's a bajillion different kinds of businesses.

Data.gov
Basically everything, which means it's a bit unwieldy

Reference USA
(Available through Columbia Libraries) It's difficult to describe how much information is here... and it all has Geographic coordinates so you can map it if you want.

Enjoy!
