Looking to move: Any good guide to American cities?

I just realized that once I graduate with my master in urban planning I will actually need to pick a city to move to and take a job.





Are there any resources out there to tell me what cities are like? I want to see demographics, a little social history, whether it has universities, diversity rating and DEFINITELY know if they are a city that is growing (and needs economic developers like myself).





I know these probably wont all be in the same place, but all help is appreciated.Looking to move: Any good guide to American cities?

You just fill out the quiz and it gives you about 10 cities to look into ... it's really cool!Looking to move: Any good guide to American cities?
This is a pretty good site:


http://www.city-data.com/


Just type in the city name and it will give you a lot of information on the city.





Good luck!
