http://factfinder.census.gov
The United States Census Bureau has developed a website to help you access the information it has compiled on population trends. The Community Profiles section provides a way to find information about your hometown or any other U.S. city or county. To find a profile:

1. Select the type of region you want (e.g. Metropolitan Statistical Area -- the Census Bureau term for what most of us just call "cities" or search by state, Indian Reservation, etc.)

2. Click the radio button beside the specific area and click Select Profile.

3. Select the particular report you'd like and click View Profile.

Other information available through the site includes business and economic data and special thematic maps that graphically display population trends. The site also has a basic search engine that allows you to search by keyword. Most of the data is from the 1990 survey, however, they are beginning to incorporate data from the American Communities Survey.
