Iowa's People: a resource for extension educators, June 1989

Statistics about people and their families interest community planners, social scientists, Extension educators, and others because the family is the fundamental social institution in our society. The purpose of this publication is to bring together in one reference many statistics about people in Iowa counties that have been published separately elsewhere. Most of the data presented are limited to only one year. This cross-sectional view is similar to a photograph that shows only one point in time. At an earlier or later time it might appear differently. Although the statistics reported in the various tables and figures represent different years, the data presented were the most recent available at the time this publication was prepared.
