The Census Bureau offers several easy-to-use data products. These are derived from detailed data sets.
The Economy-Wide Key Statistics (EWKS) data set (2007 version | 2002 version) includes key statistics:
The levels of geography covered across all industries are national, state, county, place (city) and metropolitan area.
The EWKS data set is derived from various Industry Series and Geographic Area Series data sets.
Economic Fact Sheets provide quick access to basic economic data at the national level or by state, county, city/town or ZIP code.
Available as a "snapshot", the data can be viewed only and cannot be manipulated or filtered.
Economic Quick Reports are "pre-packaged" data compiled by American FactFinder. The data are grouped by either industry or geography.
Economic Quick Reports can be easily downloaded and printed.
Thematic Maps display geographic patterns in statistical data, such as number of establishments for an industry, displayed as color-coded areas on a map.
Note: These data highlights are created from more detailed data sets.
