Where can I get statistics on Homeschooling?

I want to homeschool my kids (4 and 1 yrs old), but I'd like to get some "armor" to fight those dissenters and homeschool haters (many in my family). I am well aware of the academic advantages, so I am looking particularly for Social an Behavioral statistics of homeschooled children. Any sites?

Where can I get statistics on Homeschooling?
I have homeschooled for years now. I hear from my old fart neighbor "When are you going to let them go back to school?" Ugh. It never ends. I just don't broadcast it to the locals because THEY choose to be close minded and to not educate themselves about hsing. Consider this 'comeback' as it's my best one: My son gets a one-on-one education. It's better than a private tutor. He is fully socialized as he can go to church, soccer, chess club, library groups, the local rec center programs, 4H and scouts." Folks that flip out and bring up socialization usually just grab that word because everyone that knows little about it uses it. Good luck and you can email me for any help you need.
