I graduated this past May with a dual degree in bioengineering and applied math and statistics.

Flood maps help but are a statistical model.

And then end up as a statistic in Casey's post haha.

If you are asking about fortune 500 companies - that is all public informationRegarding jobs in general you can likely check the BLS(Bureau of Labor Statistics).

If a person looks at the stuff you've been posting recently, they will see that a very high percentage of it was blatantly wrong, whether we're taking about gay marriage statistics or rental properties.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics often mentioned as a good data source.

I don’t have BLS statistics on unemployment, but the city has been through the wringer, and nothing has really popped regarding a replacement for jobs.

I recently purchased a small seasonal rental in Lexington, Michigan (a beach town), and have been seeing alot of very good-looking deals in two-family homes near the Hospital and College campus in Port Huron: two-flats for under $70K, (average rents for 1/1 $550; for a 2/1 $650-750) low taxes, recent capital improvements,  BUT, I've also read alot of negative forums regarding crime, and the crime statistics for Port Huron are WAY higher (in certain parts of the City) than either the Michigan or the national average.Anybody have any insight into what's going on in Port Huron, Michigan?  

I just saw a statistic online (no clue how reliable) that said that my town has like 6500 home and like 4000 are rentals.

Unless you have a huge number of rentals (especially apartments), the statistics don't apply.
