All governments regularly issue official statistics on a wide range of topics, including population, the economy and health. A wide selection can be found on their Internet sites. However, remember to verify that they are up to date before you use them in your research as sometimes full sets of the figures are offered to subscribers or in paper only. If you do not know if a state or a federal or a private organization collects statistical information you need, LexisNexis Statistical is the most comprehensive resource for statistical reports and compendiums that contain time series, charts, tables, graphs and text.
