Places Similar to US Cities and Towns

CityTownInfo PlaceMatch™

PlaceMatch is a tool that lets you find U.S. cities and towns that are similar to one another. Simply select a city or town from a list of thousands and PlaceMatch will provide a ranked list of similar places based on a range of attributes.

PlaceMatch is helpful for:

• People curious about other communities that are like the ones in which they live and work.
• People relocating who are looking for cities and towns similar to ones with which they are familiar.
• Real estate professionals looking to assist out-of-town clients looking for a certain type of community.
• Students looking for a set of cities and towns with similar qualities for research assignments.
• Municipal governments interested in teaming with other communities with similar local characteristics, or to find candidates for sister cities.
• Marketers looking to find a set of test cities for their products.

PlaceMatch provides a default set of similar cities based on a standard set of criteria. However, you can easily modify these criteria among dozens that relate to a community’s demographics, educational background, wealth, crime and more.

We also plan to expand the functionality and criteria available in PlaceMatch. Please feel free to contact us with your suggestions on how we can enhance PlaceMatch.
