US Census FTP Site

For some reason I think this is cool...

You can download what seems like a ton of free data from the US Census's FTP site.

I've used the "Tiger" data in the past, and it seems like it's available free in ftp://ftp.census.gov/tiger_data/. Not really sure what the full data set is, so I'm downloading the west.tar.gz @ 1.27GB to check it out. (Have I said how much I like my Adelpha cable modem?)

If there's any good data, I'll update this post...

Time to write a book, "The Dummy's Guide to Free US Gov Web Resources..." :)
