For some reason, comparing statistics such as the property values or the crime rates in cities fascinates me. Statistics provide a very informative way of evaluating where to move or where to vacation or other numerous decisions. I recently came across a rather informative site that acts as a great resource for all the major communities in the United States. The site covers a wide array of useful topics, stays current and includes a very busy and engaging forum of discussion. You can visit the site at www.city-data.com. Hopefully, with time the site will continue to expand and include information outside of the U.S. borders.
