CityTownInfo: An Authoritative Reference for Community Research

We continually strive to make CityTownInfo.com an authoritative, objective, and information-rich resource on U.S. communities. We're grateful to the dozens of public and university libraries, teachers and professors, and state and local governments who list CityTownInfo as a valuable resource for their web site visitors.

What's Unique: A Few Highlights

CityTownInfo presents useful information on over 20,000 places in the United States, and serves millions of visitors each year. Here are a few of the key features that make the site unique and valuable for researching cities and towns:

• Detailed City/Town Profiles that include attributes and details such as demographics, maps, local government web sites, public library listings, high school and college summaries, political contributions, ancestry data, alternative and neighborhood names, and much more. Rather than a list of raw numbers, the site is a compendium of meaningful information derived by comparing each location's attributes to those of thousands of other communites across the state and the nation. In addition, CityTownInfo has created original articles for over 350 cities and towns, and is continually adding more. Sample City Profile Page
• Employment pages that list details on all major jobs in which people are employed within a metropolitan area. CityTownInfo adds value to these employment statistics by creating lists of jobs that are more common and that pay better in each city relative to the city's population and other area jobs. Over 350 metro areas are covered. A growing portion of these cities also have original articles on local industry. (Here's a Sample Employment page.) In addition, career researchers can find the cities with the most promise for hundreds of job types by visiting the site's Employment Directory.
• PlaceMatch™ pages that provide researchers a list of cities and towns which are statistically similar to the one selected. Optional controls are provided so parameters and can be added, removed, or de-emphasized.Sample PlaceMatch page
