Statistical reports issued by the U.S. Census Bureau from 1790 to the present are available for use at the New Mexico State Library. This includes the Decennial Census of Population, Economic Census, and Census of Agriculture. Statistics for the United States, New Mexico, all other states, cities, counties and smaller census geographies are available.
Decennial data collected by the U.S. Census varies from Census to Census, but population, age, sex, race, income, poverty, earnings, occupation, education, housing characteristics, disability, birthplace, ancestry, families, households and language are among the topics covered in decennial census reports.
The Economic Census profiles the US economy every 5 years from the national to the local level.
