Big new batch of data released this morning - - -
The Census Bureau's data file: ProfileDataUS.zip contains the "US Summary"
demographic profile pages (#1 - #4) in CSV format. The file is in the
following directory on the Census Bureau's site:
http://www2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/100_and_sample_profile/0_United_
States/
It has data for the US, states, Census regions and divisions, metropolitan
areas
(MSAs, PMSAs, CMSAs); American Indian and Alaskan Native reservations
and Homelands; and congressional districts. IT DOESN'T HAVE DATA FOR
COUNTIES OR PLACES. Of course, it has no variable name record, so you need
to do some work to process this file.
I'll be in the process of uploading some of our analyses (XLS and CSV
datasets)
to our FTP site. Feel free to grab. New site directory is:
