The Zip Code Census Dashboard is a very simple and informative site that shows you demographic data for any zip code you enter.
It’s very accessible to English Language Learners, and would be helpful to my students when they develop their annual project analyzing different neighborhoods. I’ve placed the link under Student Neighborhood Maps, along with other useful data collection sites. -

So it is understandable if your geography is a little rusty. But that doesn’t mean you can’t improve your knowledge of the world.
For example, you can visit today’s Cool Site and take the Traveler IQ Challenge. It is a fun way to both test and improve your geography knowledge.
The quiz is interactive. Simply use your mouse to pinpoint cities and historic events on the world map. You’ll then see the actual location. You’re awarded points on how close you are.
Don’t expect to get a perfect score, no matter how good your geography. The map is a little small. So, you won’t achieve pinpoint accuracy.
