However, the Census Bureau also has American FactFinder, a user-friendly search engine for popular census information (population, income, etc.).
- For more specific information about population, check out the U.S. Census Bureau's U.S. and World Population Clock website.
- FOIA.Gov: Users can create reports from data regarding the Freedom of Information Act.
- Foreign Assistance: A fairly new resource that compiles data regarding assistance from the US Government to foreign countries.
- Social Security, Research, Statistics, & Policy Analysis: Provides information about Social Security recipients, organized by state.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
