@Bob Huggins Especially since you're listed on so many different platforms, none of those are going to outport anything useful that's compatible with each other - instead of fighting with their data and trying to consolidate it, I think you'll find it far less frustrating/more useful to design your own spreadsheet

Lot's of online tools to help you learn more about crime, medium income, demographic data, and etc.

I have looked at citydata.com, worldpopulation.com and the US census data website (which shows data gathered in 2010).
