Zip Skinny ~ Great site to compare demographics of towns side by side

Posted Dec 4, 2007 @ 1:11 pm, Viewed by 311 Visitors, Read 315 Times.

Zip Skinny is a great site to add to your website or blog. Zip Skinny allows consumers and clients to analize data on towns they may be thinking of buying a home in.

The site has detailed information on:

  • Levels of education
  • Median household income
  • Population density
  • Number of singles
  • Racial demographics
  • Employment levels

    Here is a small sample of some data from Hopkinton MA that I pulled from the site.
