New Urban Databook Available

As a part of its Living Cities Census Project, the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy has produced 23 databooks, one for each of the cities in which Living Cities focuses its investments. The databooks provide local leaders with a "one-stop" guide to Census 2000 by assembling key information in an accessible format.

The databooks place each of the 23 cities in a national context and provide comparative rankings on all the key indicators in the census. The databooks are organized around ten sets of indicators: Population, Race and Ethnicity, Immigration, Age, Households and Families, Education, Work, Commuting, Income and Poverty, and Housing. For each set of indicators, the databooks compare each Living City to other cities participating in the initiative as well as the top 100 cities. They also provide comparisons within and across the metropolitan areas in which these cities are located.

Here are the cities included:

Atlanta, GA
Baltimore, MD
Boston, MA
Chicago, IL
Cleveland, OH
Columbus, OH
Dallas, TX
Denver, CO
Detroit, MI
Indianapolis, IN
Kansas City, MO
