Major Statistical Compilations
The traditional compilation is the Statistical Abstract, which used to be compiled by the Census Bureau and freely available. But the Census Bureau cut the program and it was picked up by a publisher, ProQuest. The last free compilation was in 2012, and you can download the entire 1500+ page book as a PDF.
