55331 City Data

For statistics junkies out there, you need to visit www.city-data.com. It is a great site with, you guessed it, data on cities. You can get down to the zip code level of data and dig in to the profile of your specific area. The "Top 100" lists are also great -- they compare zip codes across the nation in many interesting and obscure categories.

Among a few interesting items:
