MALABAR, Fla., Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Oct 1, 2019, News-Views.HomeTownLocator.com (HTL), a leading online source of local information, statistics and maps, announced a new "2-Minute Introduction" to the power and unique detail it offers.

Learn the following for any area, down to a small neighborhood of a few hundred households: 

    --  Population, population density, and ethnic diversity
    --  Housing affordability: how affordable an area is; home values, total
        housing units
    --  Average household income, per capita income and a wealth index
    --  How many households and average household size
    --  Previous and projected 5-year growth rates in population, households and
        household income

A CONCISE GUIDE TO BIG DATA

A new "2-Minute Introduction to the Power of the HTL Address Research Tool" makes it easy to see the range and detail of reliable, local information that is available. It shows examples of neighborhood data that can be found on HTL, with visuals and explanations.

In addition, HTL has a new "Quick Overview on Basic Neighborhood Demographic Detail", which briefly explains the richness of information you can find: 30 areas of detail for any neighborhood, city, town, county or ZIP Code. A visual example of a report helps users to see the value available.

1. Basic Demographic Data on population, housing, income, and households.
2. Growth Rates for each geographical unit including historical growth rates and projected growth over the next five years.
3. Tool To Compare and Rank Areas for ranking cities and neighborhoods based on average home values, or household income, diversity and other demographic data. This tool gives one a better perspective for evaluating the data.

ANY AREA, LARGE OR SMALL

HTL has amassed impressive detail on over 19,000 incorporated U.S. cities and towns as well as nearly 10,000 census designated places (CDPs). CDPs are identified by the U.S. Census Bureau as small, populated areas that lack separate municipal government, but physically resemble incorporated places.

A secret to HTL's power is how closely a user can zoom in on any neighborhood down to the smallest geographical units for which the U.S. Census Bureau publishes demographic data, the "Census Blocks". These statistical divisions of census tracts are essentially very local neighborhoods from 600 to 3,000 people.
