Finding data about your destination

U.S. locations: Census Data

Note: The US Census Bureau collects demographic and other information about locations within the US. This data is typically about the residents of a city, not about city institutions or visitors to the city. Think about questions you can ask about a destination that have to do with the lives of the people who live there.
