StateMaster
April 17, 2006
I’ve been a fan of NationMaster, a great site for statistical comparisons between countries, for some time now. Now the same group has produced StateMaster, a website that allows you to compare U.S. states on over 2,500 different statistics. The site also includes maps, flags, and detailed state profiles. What a great resource for those school state reports!

I find it somewhat difficult to get to the actual numbers used in calculating positions, though, and I’m the sort of person who wants to know what exactly they were using to get the rankings. That’s my biggest gripe with stats sites. Graphs don’t do it for me; numbers do.

Well, they do give you the numbers as well as graphs. Take a look at this one, as an example: GDP per capita.
