A Plethora of City Data

I think it was Terese who asked me what the population of Sacramento is. My original guess of 750,000 was met with her comment of "oh, same as San Francisco." So I lowered the bar, thinking that perhaps 500,000 was more realistic. The correct answer?

407,018

Lifehacker clued me in to city-data.com today, where they've "collected and analyzed data from numerous sources to create as complete and interesting profiles of all U.S. cities" as they could.

I've been poking around for a couple minutes, looks pretty comprehensive. They are offering 5 $200 prizes for submitting photos of cities, what are you waiting for?

  • I heart www.bestplaces.org - it seems similarish...

  • I really wish these sites would post things based on "metro areas" rather than individual cities. I heard that the 3 least diverse cities in the nation are 1) Pittsburgh 2) Boston 3) MSP But this site gives me a bunch of small crappy towns which are not good trivia items... Bestplaces does the same thing :(
