Data on Population Growth, Job Growth, Landlord Friendliness

[Navroze Pirza]

While this may be an extremely broad question.... I've been trying to find a source which combines data from various cities/states into one platform.  I invest in multi-unit property without having a local presence, so essentially, I use data/numbers to made buying decisions for my rental portfolio.

I've been using city-data.com, but I'm curious as to whether anyone can suggest a better platform to understand job growth, population growth trends, demographic data, landlord-oriented legistlation, median rents etc. per city or per state?

Thank you,
