Ranking America

How does the United States compare to other nations in such areas as arts funding, life expectancy, math scores, or refugee populations? How about cheese production or civil liberties? The data may surprise you!

If you are curious, visit the Ranking America blog site, created by Mark Rice, Professor of American Studies with St. John Fisher College, to tap into the data. The data posted to the site are drawn from a variety of collecting agencies worldwide including the FAO, the World Health Organization, the World Resources Institute, and the British Geological Survey, among many others.
