The Statistical Abstract of the United States is the best known statistical reference. As a comprehensive collection of statistics on the social, political, and economic conditions of the country, it is a snapshot of America and its people. It includes over 1,400 tables from hundreds of sources.

The Statistical Abstract of the United States has provided a statistical portrait of social, political, demographic, and economic conditions of America since 1878. This 2020 edition continues the heritage begun so long ago by the U.S. government, with the U.S. Census Bureau being the last agency to produce the compendium at government expense. Now in our seventh annual edition, Rowman & Littlefield and ProQuest carry on the proud tradition and responsibility of creating the statistical portrait of America. Librarians value the Statistical Abstract as both an answer book and a guide to statistical sources. Long-time users of the Statistical Abstract of the United States expect each new edition to carry forward much of the content from prior editions, as well as introduce new data as America continues to evolve. Our editors are committed to updating the long-standing, historical statistics as new data becomes available, as well as finding new topics to cover. This 2020 edition includes over 1,400 tables from hundreds of sources. Several new tables have been added this year on a variety of topics including: Outdoor Recreation Sector Gross Output by Activity Counselors, Psychologists, and Social Workers in Public Schools Associate's Degrees by Field of Study and Sex Education Certificates Awarded by Field of Study and Sex Drug Overdose Deaths and Age-adjusted Death Rates Involving Opioids, Benzodiazepines, and Stimulants by Drug Drug Overdose Death Rates by Sex, Age, and Race/Ethnicity Disability Prevalence Among Adults Age 18 and Over by Type of Disability Physician Use of Electronic Medical or Health Record System by Physician Specialty
