Allan Fooking for information on cities or want to make comparisons between different cities? Use iCityData to find information such as "Average Family Size," "Mean travel time to work," and many other categories. Choose "City Search" above the search box to find information about a specific city. To make comparisons, choose "Compare cities" to compare up to three cities located by city, state, zip code, or area code. Being specific with the information yields a better search. Advertisements are included on the ‘clarify choices” page. Students should be cautioned to ignore these. Of course, the data used is only as current as the recent census. See the notes at the bottom for the source of data. 10110
In the Classroom:
Use this website for any curricular area, especially science and social studies. Students can create stories set in different locations or write blog posts about issues people face. Use data about your community and others for practice with creating graphs to compare information visually. Have groups investigate different places and create a class geography wiki about specific topics such as the impact of natural resources on the local economy. Compare your own community to others in other states as you learn the basics of community government and citizenship. Not comfortable with wikis? Check out the Teacher’s First Wiki Walk-Through reviewed here. Use this site to research quality of life today compared to in the past. View different locations to determine common problems and reasons for these. Look at population statistics to show percent growth and resulting issues from changes in populations. Research background information on environmental issues in each of the locations and use data from this site to make connections to those issues.demographics city geography Statistics database reference cities search Social_Studies
