Tips for Searching Statistics on the Web

Most quality statistics will be from government websites.  If you're searching for statistics on the open web, make sure that you don't take statistics from .com, .org, or .net sites.  If you find statistics you'd like to use on sites with these domains, see if the sources for these statistics are cited, and go to the orginal source to track down the statistical information there. 

And remember, if there are .gov sources in your results list, those are the most trustworthy to begin with!
