Econintersect: Trulia, the online real estate company has an intriguing local info function that allows the visitor to explore a variety of different types of information about neighborhoods and local areas with just about any town or city in the U.S.
The interactive site allows information to be viewed about properties currently listed (with prices), median home prices and rental prices. For example, below is a map for part of Chicago with asking prices for current listings.
Here is a list of the queries that can be entered:
- Property listings
- Median Home Prices
- Median Rental Prices
- Commute times (between any two points on the map)
- Schools (District line, Locations and Ratings)
- Points of Interest (Restaurants, Groceries, Banks and Gas Stations)
- Natural Hazards (Eathquake, Flooding, Tornado, Hurricane and Wildfire risks)
- Crimes (Precinct blotters displayed)
Some of the data is not complete. Econintersect found no points of interest displayed for San Francisco, for example.
