Hey, this is really great! I used gut feels, spreadsheets, and wikipedia pages when I decided where I wanted to live. One thing that was really important to me, that your site doesn't cover, is growth. I grew up in a small town, and hated the "we're a small town where everyone knows everyone one and we want to keep it that way". I specifically filtered out cites that didn't show Year over Year growth, which surprisingly filtered out hundreds of cities and virtually every small town in America. You could create a section for "History" and then start with census data and work your way out. The age of the town probably reveals a lot too, like the average age of houses, types of jobs, etc...

Thanks for the feedback! Growth is an interesting concept I hadn't heard people wanted yet, but totally makes sense. Population and home price over time for a specific place, of course. But to filter or weight choices based on YoY growth in some aspect? There's definitely a case to be made for the momentum of some places to keep getting better and others that stagnate.
