I would think a qualified mentor would be diligent about keeping statistics on their successes as a mentor. 

Statistically with 3 of the top 20 named locations by Amazon, that seemed even more reinforcing.

You can also look at the new build permit statistics by city to see where the building is ocurring and that will be key indicator as to which markets are growing rapidly.

How would one reach the conclusion that one city has more bedbugs than the other...I've heard the 50% of 2/3 of statistics are half-way made up....

Numbers and statistics don’t lie.

I have not researched statistics but believe crime is rather low.  

What sources should I use to find the appropriate statistics?

For this reason, most statistics about international migration into Des Moines cited in the news media are probably referring either to Polk County or to the Des Moines metro as a whole (Polk, Dallas, Warren, Madison, Guthrie).

The only thing I didn't like very much was the area's crime statistics, but I guess I would have to sacrifice something in order for the rest of my criteria to work.

Let’s be honest; statistics can be found and twisted to support any point of view and argument.
