Trends and Policy Help Guide: Statistics and Data Search

Statistics and Data Search

Use the Statistics and Data search form when you want to search for a statistical table.

You can search for a keyword using the box at the top of the page.

 

OR, you can further target your search using one or more of the following options.

Date Range

Use to retrieve statistical tables that cover a specific time period, in years.  For instance, in 2020 someone might publish a table that covers statistics from 2010 through 2019.   2010 through 2019 is the date covered, which will be searched using this Date option.  2020 is the Date published, which is the date searched by the date limiter on the Advanced search form.   

Note that some of the tables cover fiscal years rather than calendar years.

 

 

Agency/Issuing Source

Use to locate statistical tables from a specific federal agency or issuing source.  A picklist of agencies and their parent departments are provided.  

Note: the list includes historic agencies as well as current agencies.

 

 

Geography

Locate tables covering specific countries and regions individuals were born in or migrated from, as well as the locations where they settled in the United States.

 

Demographics

Locate tables that convey statistics related to specific demographics, such as Age, Marital Status, Sex, and more.

 

Other facets unique to module subject areas

Each module has facets that are unique to that module’s data (Immigration has immigrant/visa type, Criminal Justice has crime type, Civil rights will have discrimination type, etc.).  Locate tables covering statistics related to those more subject specific areas.
