Want to see another variable here? Simply send email to jabowery@clanarchy.com with the following form of information (which will soon turn into a data-entry form here):

  1. A textual comment about the variable.
  2. Reliable URL nearest to where the original source data can be obtained. e.g. The United States Census does not allow the tables at http://factfinder.census.gov to be accessed directly via a reliable URL (the URLs given by the site have session-dependencies that make it fail to produce the data when transferred to others -- the textual comment should contain the table number/year and/or name of the table from which the data is derived in such a case).
  3. 51 space-separated numbers in the alphabetical order of state (plus DC)
