The Municipal Descriptions produced by WebAppraiser make use of data drawn from the U.S. Census and other government and industry sources. Information is assembled in the format of narrative text and statistical charts. The descriptions are designed for inclusion in narrative appraisal reports and other reports that require demographic analysis. The statistics that are presented are those that are most descriptive for use in real estate-oriented reports. We suggest that you supplement the demographics with a physical description of the municipality, including access to highways, access to shopping, amount of open space, and other such data.
Descriptions are available for all U.S. cities and towns.
The description is presented as a comparison of the municipality to a larger population group. The choice of comparisons is yours. A good comparison group for a town is often the state in which it is located. For a town in a rural location, the best comparison may be the county of which it is a part.
