Demographic
data is easier to find and to use than ever before. Much of the data from
the 2000 census is now available from American FactFinder, the Census Bureau’s website.With a little know-how it’s possible to create and compare statistical
profiles of states, counties, individual towns, even down to the block
level. This information would have cost thousands of dollars just a few
years ago but is available free-of-charge today from American FactFinder.
Such data can be invaluable for businesses, community planners, social
service providers, and local organizations in their marketing and
advertising campaigns.
