Hi @Jeff Quinlan,
I got some great tips from a recent podcast with investor John Casmon about choosing the right markets to invest in. He recommended a site called datausa.io where you can punch in the city and instantly get fantastic data from population to poverty rates. You can do direct comparisons between areas. The detail is awesome, stats about employees, growth, economy, wages, wage distribution, etc. Awesome resource, check it out.
