WisStat
http://www.wisstat.wisc.edu/

For many decades, the University of Wisconsin has been known for its work in the fields of demography and sociology, so the appearance of the WisStat website is quite welcome, though not a surprise. Developed by the Applied Population Laboratory at the university, and drawing on a number of reliable data sources (including the 2000 Census), the WisStat server allows visitors to view various demographic data about a vast array of units (including by census tract, city, village, country) throughout the state of Wisconsin. First, visitors will need to select a unit of geography to examine (such as county, village, etc.), then select an appropriate search filter. This is probably the most powerful aspect of the site, as visitors can search by subject, keyword, data source, and year range. Upon completing these first two steps, visitors may then view the data in a table format, and they may also download this data for future use. This has been added to Statistics Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.[From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]
