Native American Indian Heritage Month: Statistics

The Census Bureau serves as the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy. We honor privacy, protect confidentiality, share our expertise globally, and conduct our work openly.

A program of the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACS releases new data every year, in the form of estimates, in a variety of tables, tools, and analytical reports.

Although the U.S. Census Bureau carries out hundreds of surveys every year, its most well-known duty is still to conduct the decennial census. Census results are used to reapportion seats in the House of Representatives, to realign congressional districts, and as a factor in the formulas that distribute hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds each year.

From the U.S. Census Bureau, the Statistical Abstract Series data ranges from historical abstracts compiled between 1878 through 2012.
