The US Census Bureau Web site, State and County QuickFacts, provides "quick, easy access to facts about people, business, and geography." Users can choose a state from the clickable map or the pull down menu to access data on people including the populations of various groups, average travel times, and education levels; business information such as employment and sales per capita; physical geography facts of land size; and other data sets on a wide variety of subjects. The tabular format of the data makes it easy to view and find the specifics you're interested in, and the information link next to each row provides a full explanation and definition of that particular parameter. All of these things culminate in making the site a helpful resource that citizens should find beneficial.
