Entire Dataset Now Available in QuickFacts!
For many years, State and County QuickFacts has provided a convenient sampler of the range of data available at the county level from the Census Bureau. Now, in addition to the simple one-area-at-a-time display, QuickFacts enables users to download the entire dataset in an ASCII .csv format! Many of these same data items were previously downloadable from American FactFinder or other sources, but that required loading several different data sets to see the same range of data. Other items in QuickFacts have not previously been easily derivable from other sources (for example, population estimates by age, race/origin, or sex). The QuickFacts download file provides many of the numbers in both percentage and raw form for easy analysis but full flexibility for comparisons and ranking. The new download file gives data for the U.S., states, and counties. A download file including cities with 25,000 or more inhabitants is coming this spring.
The link for downloading appears at the bottom of each QuickFacts profile. Have fun with it!
