City Data

If anyone is interested in data regarding the U.S. states, cities, counties and townships the following has plenty of it which is described in the link:

We have over 74,000 city photos not found anywhere else, graphs of the latest real estate prices and sales trends, recent home sales, a home value estimator, hundreds of thousands of maps, satellite photos, demographic data (race, income, ancestries, education, employment), geographic data, state profiles, crime data, registered sex offenders, cost of living, housing, religions, businesses, local news links based on our exclusive technology, birthplaces of famous people, political contributions, city government finances, employment, weather, natural disasters, hospitals, schools and libraries.

In addition to our huge collection of data, we have also created our Top 100 City Lists and Top 101 City Lists. These lists rank cities in hundreds of categories, including income, crime, most gay couples, most cars, shortest commute, biggest houses, best educated residents and many more. We also have thousands of random city pictures submitted by our users.

Below is a link to the web site. If you have time, try the interactive data map, it details population information right down to local neighborhoods.

city-data.com a very good resource for looking at data for a region, and if you use a search engine for a city or town, you'll usually see it high on the list.  I've used it a couple of times, such as to compare our crime rates with other similar sized cities in Michigan.

The top 100 lists are a new feature which ranks cities above 50,000 people and above 5000 people.  I looked at a couple and haven't seen Ludington on any of them.

I figured you would know about this site. It's amazing how much information that has been compiled and available but like many web sites, who really knows how accurate that information is.
