Simply type in a zip code and ZipSkinny displays the latest US Census data for the neighborhood. This includes:
- Education levels
- Marital status
- Household income
- Occupation
- Unemployment
- Stability/Newcomer Appeal (% of people living in the same home 5+ years)
- Map
- Comparison of data with neighboring zip codes
Compare up to 20 zip codes with ZipSkinny’s technology. Don’t trust the data, go directly to the US Census Bureau.
Next time a client calls and wants to know about a neighborhood, give them the skinny. Phat!
Alternative Shortcut tip: type www.yourzipcode.us and get a basic snapshot of the hood.

This is an excellent site. Thanks for providing it. This is great information to have for a webite. The demographic information is great!
This is indeed very cool - nice presentation of the data. Keep in mind that ZCTAs from the Census Bureau are not really ZIP Codes (http://www.maponics.com/GIS_Map_Data/ZIP_Code_and_Carrier_Route_GIS/ZCTAs_vs_ZIP_Code_Data/zctas_vs_zip_code_data.html)
Also - be great to see actual neighborhoods being reflected (http://www.maponics.com/Neighborhood_Maps/Neighborhood_Boundaries/neighborhood_boundaries.html)
