Questions

What UrbFact is, where the numbers come from, and who it is for.

What is UrbFact?

A city data platform built entirely on official government data. Every number comes from a verified public source: the US Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, FBI, NOAA, Department of Education, CMS and Statistics Canada, among others. No estimates, no crowd-sourced data, no AI-generated content. US cities carry up to 135 data points across 13 sections. Canadian cities include Census data. International cities have population, coordinates, elevation, timezone and country-level indicators like GDP and HDI.

Where does the data come from?

Directly from public government databases: Census ACS 5-Year for demographics and housing, BLS QCEW for county employment by industry, FBI UCR for crime rates, NOAA Climate Normals 1991-2020 for weather, IPEDS and NCES for colleges and schools, CMS Hospital Compare for hospitals, Zillow and Redfin for home values and rents, and BEA Regional Price Parities for cost of living.

What tools are available?

City pages with every data point in readable sections. Compare, for any two cities side by side. City Finder, to filter cities by climate, economy, safety and size. A cost of living calculator based on BEA regional price data. Rankings across 23 metrics. Profiles for 416 metro areas, 3,200 counties and 41,600 ZIP codes.

How often is the data updated?

As soon as each source publishes. Census ACS annually, usually in December. BLS quarterly. Zillow and Redfin monthly. FBI crime data annually with a one-year lag. NOAA climate normals every ten years. Schools, hospitals and colleges follow the academic year releases.

Is UrbFact free?

Yes. Every page, tool, comparison and ranking is free, with no account, paywall or usage limit. The data comes from public sources and stays public. UrbFact is supported by advertising.

Who is UrbFact for?

Anyone deciding about a place. People researching a move, remote workers weighing cost of living and climate, real estate investors comparing markets, students choosing colleges, journalists checking local statistics, planners benchmarking communities, HR teams adjusting salaries for relocation.
