What's it like where you live?

How much do you really know about the place you live in?  You can try questions like How many businesses are there in Scottsdale AZ? or What percentage of Jacksonville is female? or more vaguely, What's it like in Holtsville NY?

Maybe you're looking to move to a new city and you'd like to find the best area for you.  You can find local communities with questions like Which area of Pasadena is good for young families? or check whether you can afford to live near a new job eg What's the average house price near Paychex?

Then there's all the useful information on zip codes - Where is 43515? and What's the zip code for Bellaire? and How many residential mailboxes are there in Springfield?

Or you could simply use us to confirm what you already believed Did 50 Cent grow up in a poor area? and What's the median age in Everglades, Fl?
