American FactFinder .Run by the U.S. Census Bureau, this site is a source for population, housing, economic, and geographic data. The easy-to-use Fact Sheet lets you type in a street address, county, or a town name to retrieve a wealth of information about that locale. You can find social characteristics—like the percentage of residents with college degrees—as well as the average travel times to work, and the number of owner-occupied homes vs. renter-occupied. The Housing section has even more detailed information about the area's housing stock, like the year most homes were built and average monthly rents. There's a link on this site to another helpful source, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey —a new nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they're changing on a yearly basis. A great feature of this section is the Ranking Tables , which lets you compare states, counties, and cities on key issues like education, housing, and commute times. - Sperling's Best Places . This site calls itself "the ultimate resource for relocation, recreation, and retirement." You can find Neighborhood Profiles by simply entering a zip code, and then browse crime rates, climate, cost of living data, school statistics, and more by clicking the other tabs on the right side of the page. There's also results from studies that look at quality of life issues. For example, you can see how your area stacks up on the Best and Worst Cities for Dating (not too well, if you live in Kansas City, Mo.) or on the site's ranking of America's Most and Least Stressful Cities .
- FirstGov.gov .The U.S. government's official Web portal provides links to state, local, and tribal governments around the country. Go to the Local Governments page to find information about local mayors, a directory of local travel and tourism sites, and services available in your community. And for anything not covered in all the above, there's enough data at FedStats (choose your Colorado City or County) to put even the most ardent auditor to sleep!
