Information Publications was founded in 1980 out of a need for a comprehensive reference source that gathers a wide range of the information available at the federal, state, and local levels. Since then, Information Publications' annual reference volumes have provided a one-stop, easy-to-use reference resource that gives a detailed overview of the major topics affecting people's lives. Our books synthesize data from federal, state, and local sources into a single source, containing the most recent data available on:
- Demographic and population figures
- Education and school statistics
- Municipal and County officials
- Earnings and income
- Labor and unemployment rates
- Poverty and wealth
- Housing data
- Health and vital statistics
- Crime rates and figures
- Voters and elections
- Municipal finance and tax revenues
- Property values and economic indicators
- Public libraries
Information Publications publishes three series of reference books. The State and Municipal Profiles Series includes the Almanac of the 50 States, as well as municipal and county profile books on California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and North Carolina. The American Profiles Series consists of statistical sourcebooks and guides to government data for Asian, Black, and Hispanic Americans. Our newly introduced Essential Topics Series consists initially of Energy, Transportation & the Environment: A Statistical Sourcebook and Guide to Government Data.
Our books are designed to be useful many types of readers, such as students, reference librarians, attorneys, researchers, government officials, journalists, and real estate professionals. By bringing such a diverse set of data together in one volume, we save our readers the time and expense of gathering the data themselves.
Facts, figures, data, and statistics are the keys to the modern world. In the Information Age, having access to the right information is vital. Our publications, available in print and electronic formats, are designed to save you time in your research, and let you get back to the task at hand.
