A lot of data users always looked forward to the Statistical Abstract (myself included). I hope we can revive it perhaps in a purely digital format (i know the books/CDs were expensive). We've released some apps so hopefully we can do something like the statistical abstract.
"ANCESTRY. I don't totally understand this variable. It's a fill-in-the-blank question on the American Community Survey, but there weren't any Asian categories."
It's been a while since I've looked at the paper form but there should be categories, and an other category that is fill in the blank.
