Scope of Demographics Data Presented Here

The bulk of the resources below are for consumer demographics. For business demographics try The Census Data link below. The US census tracks some business information. Other government agencies do as well along with many private sources we will not have access to. Try Google and ProQuest news searches to discover which entities might track business statistics. You can also meet with the business librarian for strategies.
