About AmericaByNumbers.com

Our Story

Making informed life decisions — whether about careers, relocation, or community — requires accurate, current data. Unfortunately, this data often exists scattered across government databases and complex spreadsheets that are difficult to navigate.

AmericaByNumbers.com was created to solve this problem. We take freely available government data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and other federal agencies, and transform it into clear, user-friendly resources that help people:

• Understand typical salaries in their field and location
• Compare compensation across different career paths
• Research cities and towns before relocating — demographics, housing, education, and economy
• Make data-driven career and life decisions
• Evaluate job opportunities and communities with confidence
• Plan salary negotiations based on real market data

Our Data Sources

AmericaByNumbers.com draws from multiple official U.S. government sources:

• Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) OEWS: Salary and employment data for 831 occupations across all 50 states — median wages, percentile ranges (P10–P90), and employment totals
• U.S. Census Bureau ACS: Demographic, economic, education, and housing data for 28,000+ cities and towns — population, income, home values, education attainment, and more
• O*NET: Job descriptions, skills, knowledge areas, and education requirements for 867 occupations
• BEA Regional Price Parities: State-level cost-of-living adjustments for salary comparisons

We do not conduct our own surveys or modify underlying data. All information is regularly updated to reflect the latest government releases. For complete details, see our Data Sources page.
