"As a part of the Living Cities Census Project, the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy has produced 23 databooks, one for each of the cities in which Living Cities focuses its investments. The databooks provide local leaders with a "one-stop" guide to Census 2000 by assembling key information in an accessible format.The databooks place each of the 23 cities in a national context and provide comparative rankings on all the key indicators in the census."
