Government Information
Government documents are a good source for reports, statistics, data, etc. Some documents are still in print, but many can be found online.
You can search for federal, state, and local governments. While there are portals, you may want to search just by using Google. Just put in your search terms and limit by site, such as site:.gov or site:.mil or site:.tx.us. This will only bring back results from those domains.
