A New Census App Tells You Where You Should Be Living
Plug in key information about your preferences, and Dwellr will start looking for your new home.
If you find yourself in geographic limbo this holiday season – perhaps stranded in an airport or marooned with family far from your own familiar home – new Census Bureau app dwellr offers to help you get your socioeconomic bearings.
The tool, available for Apple or Android devices, will give you a demographic profile of your current location – population, median housing value, racial diversity, education level, and the like – based on data from the American Community Survey.
