StateMaster—an invaluable statistical database

StateMaster—a unique and invaluable statistical database which allows you to research and compare a multitude of different data on US states. Compiled information from various primary sources such as the US Census Bureau, the FBI, and the National Center for Educational Statistics. StateMaster goes beyond the numbers to provide you with visualization technology like pie charts, maps, graphs and scatterplots. Also map and flag images, state profiles, and correlations.
