Statistical Abstract of the U.S.
Published annually by the Federal Government since 1878 - the best-known statistical reference publication in the country, and perhaps, the world.

It is used as both an answer book (“How much corn is grown in Iowa?”) and a guide to statistical sources (“What organization has the most authoritative data on foreclosures?”). As a comprehensive collection of statistics on the social, political, and economic conditions of the United States, it is a snapshot of America and its people for the current year.
