Best Places !

Ever wondered how your town's crime rate compares with the national average? Or how much is spent per student in the city you're thinking of moving to?
Just punch in a town name or ZIP code and get all kinds of information such as the median cost of a home, average household size, or even the most popular religions in the area.



http://www.bestplaces.net/



my zip code : 02152
The bad :

Cost of Living
http://www.bestplaces.net/zip-code/d...ty=Winthrop_MA

http://www.bestplaces.net/zip-code/d...ty=Winthrop_MA



The good :

Crime
http://www.bestplaces.net/zip-code/d...ty=Winthrop_MA




Post your zipcode and some results

Dang, never thought it was higher than the National Av.

Ha, my school has practically no extra money. It uses pretty much all of it on core areas.

I'd rather not post my zip code, but my crim level is extremely low. Sounds like our towns are pretty similar.

Haha, I'm embarrassed!!

How about I just show this:

Economy
Unemployment Rate	          5.40%	        5.00%
Recent Job Growth	          2.58%          1.30%
Future Job Growth	         15.73%	    9.06%
Sales Taxes	                  7.75%  	6.00%
Income Taxes	                0.00%	        5.02%
Household Income	         $57,934	$44,684
Income per Cap.	                $22,191	  $24,020

Health
Air Quality (100=best)	         1	48
Water Quality (100=best)	37	55
Superfund Sites (100=best)     10	71
Physicians per Cap.	        267	169.7
Let's just say I live in the vicinity of the Houston Ship Channel....
