ZIPskinny
For the data obsessed among us comes ZIPskinny. ZIPskinny gathers census and other data and groups it by zip code. For instance, when I entered my zip code of 98102, I discovered that 64.6% of us have a bachelors degree and 62.2% of us have never been married. There are all kinds of interesting logical fallacies one could fall prey to with data like this but it’s fun to look at anyway. And for those with a special interest in defining place [chs], you can also compare up to twenty different zip codes at a time.

Partial to #12 myself
Nice find, Ryan. Comparing the zip code I grew up in (89122) with my current zip (98105) is an eye-opening contrast in demographics. I can see a few general reasons why I see things differently from most Seattlites.
J – I’m partial to #3a but will never have one if I stay in 98102.
Gomez – It was interesting comparing the places I’ve lived, too. Disparate, to say the least.
