Other potential sources of information
Most cities will have a web site, and many have some type of economic or sociological report. Try the
section of the city web site that appeals to businesses to move there. Sometimes the public health units,
local health authorities or district health councils will have reports on population and health statistics.
Check their web sites or call them. Your local Chamber of Commerce or city planning department will
probably have some of these statistics available as well. Reviewing these and other websites might be a
quick and easy way of:
● obtaining information on characteristics of your community (e.g. total population);
● identifying profiles of local seniors and veterans in your region (e.g. % seniors, veterans,
average income, source of income); and
● identifying potentially relevant programs or activities.
