StateMaster – US Statistics, State Comparisons
For those of you who, like me, are already big fans of NationMaster, now there is an analogous tool for comparative U.S. state statistics. Their summary says it all:
“Welcome to StateMaster, a unique statistical database which allows you to research and compare a multitude of different data on US states. We have compiled information from various primary sources such as the US Census Bureau, the FBI, and the National Center for Educational Statistics. More than just a mere collection of various data, StateMaster goes beyond the numbers to provide you with visualization technology like pie charts, maps, graphs and scatterplots. We also have thousands of map and flag images, state profiles, and correlations.”
Like NationMaster, StateMaster is a compendium of statistics that draws its numbers from trusted sources. It does not author or create statistics. If you use StateMaster to discover relevant statistics, it is wise to use the source information to proceed to the original source.
