The Census Bureau puts together a "Facts for Features and Special Editions" containing news releases with fun facts and numbers for holidays and special events. You can look at the Web page when you're looking for information on a specific topic, or you can subscribe to receive email news alerts when they become available.
The holiday fact sheets always have interesting numbers to report on any given topic: The Mother's Day release includes the number of single moms in the U.S. (9.8 million); the most popular day for giving birth in the U.S. (Wednesday); and the most popular baby names. The Cinco de Mayo release reports that there are 29.2 million U.S. residents of Mexican origin, representing 10% of the total U.S. population and 64% of the Hispanic population.
The news releases include a lot of facts and numbers that can help quantify a subject or provide ideas for further angles on a topic.
