Data for Small Business Development (Demographic, Industry, Economic)
US Census Data
A utility from the United States Census Bureau. Here you can access tables (and in some case create custom tables) and thematic maps from the American Community Survey, the Puerto Rican Community Survey, Annual Population Estimates, Business Patterns, Economic Census, Annual Survey of Manufacturers, etc. Please note that this utility is best used for online viewing or to pull PDF versions of tables. The data download can be quite cumbersome and, in some cases, not sufficient for high-level data work (use Social Explorer instead for high-level data work). TIP: Pick your geography FIRST, then pick your dataset or topic (both are under the topics menu).
