CityTownInfo was recently cited in American City & County magazine, a monthly informational resource for municipal governments.
Officials from the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau in North Carolina use the PlaceMatch feature and other comparative statistics on CityTownInfo to help them understand how they stack up against other cities in the country.
"I can’t tell you how useful a tool CityTownInfo is for us," said Reyn Bowman, President and CEO of the Durham business organization. "We use PlaceMatch often and in a variety of ways. For example, we are able to examine a series of indicators like racial diversity, crime and poverty and see where we stand versus other cities similar to Durham."
