How do I find data or statistics in the Library?

To find data or statistics start with our Statistics & Data guide. There you will find reliable websites organized by topic. 

Where you find data or statistics will depend on the organization that produces them. Most statistics will be found on the Internet using a Google search or through websites of specific organizations.

Custom statistics search box

We have a custom search box that allows you to search all of the websites on our statistics resources page. This is a great tool to try when you are not sure what agency might have the statistics or data you need. 

Go to the statistics combined search box
