City-data.com - Get to know your favorite city
There are a huge number of statistical resources on the internet. One can literally spend hours pouring over population trends, crime stats, housing prices, you name it. But, there are only so many hours in the day. So where does one find a site that encapsulates data in a coherent and concise way? I think www.city-data.com is an excellent resource. If you’re a resident in Iowa and want to find out about Kenmore, WA because your employer is relocating you, here are some of the interesting statistics you can review:
Some of the other very interesting breakdowns include: number of government employees, building permits, crime statistics, educational attainment…..whew, it goes on and on. The only thing I’d like you to keep in mind is that some of the statistics aren’t current (this is not uncommon because it takes a long time to assemble some data). But, go ahead and look through this website. You may learn something for your next cocktail party
