Checking out a new city for a job? Or need some quick stats for a story where you are working? The Data Dashboard, part of the Urban Institute‘s Metro Trends is a helpful resource.
You will find 366 metro areas profiles with charts and stats on:
- unemployment
- housing prices
- net migration
- jobs gain or loss
- crime
Here’s one of the tables from my home city, Syracuse, showing housing prices, compared to US averages. I’m pleased to see we’re above average!
This would also be a useful resource to compare how your metro area is doing compared to the next one down the road.
