StatsAmerica is a service of the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC) in the Indiana University Kelley School of Business. With generous support from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, we have developed and maintain a unique and useful set of tools and reports that focus on innovation capacity, resilience, equity and distress.
We maintain tens of thousands of data items from dozens of federal and state sources, along with some commercial or private source data. While StatsAmerica adds value to these data through easy access and functionality, we acknowledge the direct agency source of the data on every table, profile or map.
And speaking of adding value, you will see it in the form of indexes, rankings, calculations, graphs, comparisons of time or geography, and maps. To ensure total accuracy, all data are verified first by analyzing the source data (we frequently report back to the source agencies about problems spotted with their data) and the resulting calculations we generate. These data are updated as they are released by the sources, often within a day or two after they are released. We also maintain geographic and bridged-data concordances that allow for comparability among counties and regions, as well as across time for data sets that change based on, for example, NAICS code revisions.
Feel free to contact us with specific questions about the data that you may have that aren’t covered through resources on our site.
