Census Bureau Releases New Web Tool

The U.S. Census Bureau launched a new web application today called, “Easy Stats,” a tool designed to make statistics easier to access. It provides selected demographic and economic statistics from the American Community Survey (ACS) and allows searching by geography down to the local level. You can road test the new app at http://www.census.gov/easystats/. The Census Bureau has also updated the popular QuickFacts site with the new ACS statistics, making it easier to find data about a city, county, or state.
