Site is chuck full of data

The Oklahoma Policy Institute tilts leftward when the discussion involves spending of taxpayer dollars. But two new online databases compiled by OK Policy play it down the middle.

One database contains state- and county-level statistics covering such things as median personal income, crime rates, high school graduation rates and median cost to rent a home.

“Anyone interested in reliable, easy-to-use state and local data can access it here,” the think tank says.

The other database offers county “fact sheets” that include access to key demographic, social and economic indicators.

Both sites are easy to navigate and loaded with helpful information. They can be found by clicking on the “Fact Sheets & Issue Briefs” tab at okpolicy.org.
