Have you ever wondered if your community has more jobs than your cross-town rival? Or if the homes where you live cost less in a place where you'd like to move? Money's handy Compare Your Town tool lets you get a local progress report on several key factors, including median household income, crime rates, taxes, average commute times—even the number of residents with bachelor's degrees. To find the details on your own town, just type it in the first box below. Leave the second box blank to compare with national averages, or type another name in the second box for a two-town smackdown.
