We are restructuring the RAND New York site and expect to re-launch in late 2012. During this period, we will update only the databases on this site that cover all 50 states. Users may also want to visit RAND State Statistics, which provides nearly 70 databases covering all 50 U.S. states.

RAND New York is a subscription-based service sponsored by RAND, the nation's leading think tank. Libraries may request a trial subscription.

Browse our Statistics Summary for an overview of database categories, periodicity, data sources, time periods available, and geographic regions covered.

RAND New York contains more than 100 databases in the categories described below. Much of the data are available at the national, state, county, and city levels. Data are updated on a regular basis. Users looking for more detailed data on California and Texas should visit our RAND California and RAND Texas sites.
