What Is The Statistical Abstract of the United States?

The Statistical Abstract of the United States is the Nation's best known and most popular single source of statistics on the social, political, and economic organization of the country. The Abstract has been published since 1878 while the compact disc version first appeared in 1993. Containing over 1,400 tables from over 274 different governmental, private, and international organizations, both versions serve as a comprehensive, yet convenient statistical reference and guide to statistical publications and sources .

What's New in the 2004-2005 Edition?

As usual, the U.S. Census Bureau has updated most of the content from the previous disc with new or more recent data. Special sections found only on the disc, Mini Historical Statistics and Economic Indicators, also contain updated statistics.

This year, Census has also introduced 68 new tables that cover a wide range of subject areas, such as Native Hawaiians, the largest public school districts, computer and Internet use by children and adolescents, students who reported carrying weapons, private sector job gains and losses, asset ownership rates for households, science and engineering degree recipients, and transit ridership. In addition, a number of new tables have been added that contain data from the 2002 Economic Census.

This disc also includes content not found in the book, such as a complete set of reference maps from various federal statistical agencies! This collection includes the most recent world and international maps from the Central Intelligence Agency; maps of each state and their metro areas and component counties; maps for the 108th Congressional districts; National Park sites throughout the country; U.S. transportation facilities and routes; coal mines and facilities; and forest land.
