Finding Statistics Just Got Easier!

If you need to find out the number of people who speak Greek in North Carolina*, you're in luck! The GTCC Library recently began subscribing to an online database called Statistical Warehouse that makes finding statistics on any number of issues relatively painless. From languages spoken at home, to reported income, crimes, causes of death - you can find statistics on all these and many other demographic, social, health, and economic indicators.

Use this resource to find statistics for a paper or other research. Select relevant statistical facts and figures to support your argument or provide background information in a paper or project. Take a look at Statistical Warehouse and see what interesting facts and figures you can find.

* In 2000, 6,404 people in NC spoke Greek at home (from Statistical Warehouse, extracted from 2000 census files).
