The American Tally, Second Edition
Grey House Publishing Inc, Jan 2003, Pages: 600
This important statistical handbook compiles, all in one place, comparative statistics on all U.S. cities and towns with a 10,000+ population. Originally published in 1993 by Toucan Valley Publications, this second edition is the first by Universal Reference Publications, an imprint of Grey House Publishing. It represents thousands of hours sifting through enormous U.S. Census Bureau files for specific combinations of data that define who we are as Americans. Using a unique formula of human statistics, including age, education, employment, ethnicity and language, The American Tally: Statistics & Comparative Rankings for U.S. Cities with Populations over 10,000 illustrates subtle differences that give each city and town its unique culture and character.
The value of The American Tally: Statistics & Comparative Rankings for U.S. Cities with Populations over 10,000 doesn’t stop with statistics, however. What makes this book extraordinarily valuable are the comparative ranking sections, allowing the user to immediately compare town to town, city to city, state to state.
This edition of The American Tally: Statistics & Comparative Rankings for U.S. Cities with Populations over 10,000 profiles more than 4,000 places in America with populations of over 10,000. This is almost 1,000 more places, dozens more categories, and more than 300 more pages than the first edition. You’ll find statistics and comparative rankings in more than 50 topics, other than size, that define cities and towns from Boston to Berkeley.
The American Tally: Statistics & Comparative Rankings for U.S. Cities with Populations over 10,000 is divided into Seven Chapters:
- Population Characteristics
- Educational Attainment
- Language
- Immigration & Ancestry
- Income
- Employment
- Housing
Each chapter contains up to seven subcategories, for a total of 56 (almost double the first edition). The new subcategories allows for more detailed research in each major section. Some of the new subcategories include: more detailed educational attainment, i.e. ninth grade and doctorate degrees; ancestry breakdown, i.e. German, Irish, English, American, Italian and Polish; specific occupations, i.e. Professional, Service, Sales, Farming, Fishing and Construction.
Each chapter begins with an Alphabetical Listing section, where each place name is followed by a designation – city, town, village, CDP, borough, municipality, etc. These are official designations by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, from which the data is derived. The alphabetical listing of places also includes two numbers for each subcategory – percentage and rank. This allows the user to get an immediate understanding of how the city compares to others in that category.
The Ranked Lists includes the 200 cities that score the highest and the lowest in each subcategory. This section is expanded from the top 65 in each category in the first edition. This more expansive, richer detail provides data at either extreme of the statistic, which is so important to statistical research.
The data in The American Tally: Statistics & Comparative Rankings for U.S. Cities with Populations over 10,000 is the most recent available. It presents a compilation of comparisons and rankings not found in other sources and we are excited about adding it to our line of statistic and demographic titles. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
Unlike any other reference, The American Tally: Statistics & Comparative Rankings for U.S. Cities with Populations over 10,000 provides quick, easy access to comparative statistics - a must-have for any reference collection.
