How much do you really know about your farm area? How much do you know about neighboring communities? Are you curious to know more?

Knowing more about your surrounding communities can be enough to give you a competitive edge. The new Census CD can give you the statistical and informational edge you need to impress buyers and sellers.

The only complete Census reference on the market, the CD includes the full set of Census data on over 375,000 geographic locations in the U.S., including all tracts, places, counties, states, Congressional districts, Indian, Zips, and more. In fact, the CD contains over 3,500 Census demographic variables for every area along with millions of street addresses, and all compiled with data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.

How can this information benefit you, the REALTOR? You will be able to convey lots of somewhat unexpected and extremely valuable information about any neighborhood in the country...and in your area. CensusCD (Picture) is the only complete Census reference on a single CD on the market.

If you are just curious enough to be interested in the full picture of your (or any other) neighborhood, you will find lots and lots of somewhat unexpected and extremely valuable information about any neighborhood in this country. What is the average rent in Piqua City, Ohio? An income profile? How many people speak Chinese within a 5-miles radius? What is the percentage of people with higher education in the block around 15, Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey? Where do the most people of Japanese origin live in Los Angeles county, California? How much time do people in your neighborhood spend on daily commuting? These and numerous other questions are answered courtesy of the CensusCD.

To help you understand the scope of this tremendous body of data, the average neighborhood only has about 1,000 residents. The CD also includes neighborhood demographics, radius areas, populations, customizing options, data sorting, area and demographic search, street listings, and a variety of report formats.

And the service is fast. You can get a report for a single area in a matter of seconds.
