Zip codes, metros, states, or countries — side-by-side across 18 indicators from Census ACS, FBI UCR, Zillow, BEA, Chetty’s Opportunity Atlas, and World Bank. Every metric shows its source. Every URL is shareable.
Three mid-size metros that attract the same talent pool.
Real intra-metro signal — poverty and opportunity vary by an order of magnitude across zips.
Bottom-ranked vs top-ranked state on poverty — the gap is stark.
Country-level comparison across Nordic, Iberian, and US models.
Same metro, three different economic realities.
Three Pacific-coast metros, three different cost structures.
Most comparison tools (Niche, BestPlaces, Travel + Leisure rankings) compute opaque composites and hide the weights. This tool does the opposite: every metric is labeled with its exact source, vintage, and formula. The Racism Index is an openly-weighted composite (FBI UCR hate crime + racial income parity + Harvard IAT) with sliders so you can see how methodology changes the result.
Data unavailable at a given granularity? We say so — no fabricated zip-level happiness scores, no interpolated numbers dressed up as measurements.
Every comparison has a unique URL. Send it to a collaborator and they see exactly what you see — same places, same metrics, same weights.
