Kansas Statistical Abstract 2001 - Institute for Policy & Social ...

FOREWORD
The Thirty-sixth Edition of the Kansas Statistical Abstract contains data collected
through November 2002 for eighteen different categories of information: Agriculture, Banking,
Business and Industry, Climate, Communications, Crime, Education, Elections, Employment and
Earnings, Energy, Government, Housing and Construction, Income, Mining, Parks and
Recreation, Population, Transportation, and Vital Statistics and Health.
For the first time in the thirty six years that the Abstract has been produced, no bound
copy will be available; instead, all of the tables can be accessed on the Policy Research Institute=s
Web site, in a pdf file:
http://www.ku.edu/pri/ksdata/ksah/
By producing the Abstract in this format, the Editor and Policy Research staff are making
the state=s foremost collection of statistics easily available to the United States and the rest of the
world.
I welcome suggestions concerning the new data and how PRI can improve the Kansas
Statistical Abstract. Please address any correspondence to me at the Policy Research Institute,
