Another suggestion for raw data is to turn to books (!) -- we have many in the library that contain data. Notable among them are the //Statistical Abstracts//, a compilation of data from the US Census Bureau, //Historical Statistics of the United States//, with data from the first census in 1790 to the 1970s, //Vital Statistics of the United States//, and //Working Americans: 1880-1999// (4 volumes), with all kinds of comparative data about how Americans lived, worked, spent, etc. Other sources contain data about weather, climate, international information, and more.
