The database compiles demographic, economic, and governmental information spanning several years and sources as well as profiles from data on CD ROM produced by the Census Bureau.
Information is provided via two pathways.
A graphic pathway uses states on a U.S. map as links to state pages that contain maps of counties or parishes that in turn serve as links to summary information pages for the designated counties. A textual pathway to the summary information pages is also available. A pull down menu on each summary information page allows the selection of other tables of information such as age, agriculture, ancestry, building permits, crime, earnings, education, elections, health, housing, income, labor force and unemployment, land area, poverty, retail trade, service industries and social programs. Links to other Government Information Demonstration Project pages are available on the USA Counties page.
