Get the skinny on your zip code!


I heard about this on the radio and thought it was so cool! You can look up stats based on your zipcode atzipskinny.com. Find out the median income, % of people single or divorced, what kind of industry they work in, etc, all by just typing in your zip code. Check it out, it’s so fun! The info is from the census bureau based on data from 2000, so its not 100% accurate (they have a disclaimer on their site), but its fun to read! It is also super user friendly and easy to read. What is the skinny on your zip code??
