Finding Population Data in the United States Census Bureau Web Site
Since addresses for pages on the Web may change over time, we will provide general strategies for finding data for this activity. Once in the Census Bureau Web site, you may want to scan the page to find specific information or statistics for the category "people." Data for this task is likely to be found under "historical census data." If browsing the pages related to the category "people" does not take you quickly to the data you are looking for, you may also try doing a search by entering "historical census data" as keywords.
Finding Population Data in the Statistics Canada Web Site
Once in this site you may want to scan the page to find specific information for the category "Canadian statistics" and then "the people." If browsing the pages related to these categories does not take you quickly to the data you are looking for, you may also try doing a search by entering "population growth" as keywords.
