What is the Databook?
The Construction Aggregates Databook is a database consolidating 30 years of U.S. government data pertinent to the aggregate industry. The information is provided in a 333 page publication and on an accompanying CD-ROM. The Databook has more than 315 tables; each data table is provided as an Excel 4.0 spreadsheet file. In most of the tables, the horizontal axis is the individual years from 1970 through 1999; the 50 states plus the District of Columbia are on the vertical axis. There are more than 80 tables of this type. A series of 50 tables consolidates the information for each state. In the state tables, the vertical axis is all the items of Databook information for that state. That is, for each state, 30 years of key aggregate and related data are summarized on one page (and therefore one spreadsheet file), by year. New data is added to the Databook’s database as it is released by government agencies; revisions are also incorporated as they occur. The Construction Aggregates Databoo
