Customer Reviews

GREAT Reference book!
I saw this book at the library, and when I saw how inexpensive it was, decided that I wanted it for myself. Very informative, and detailed information with specific statistics on population, education, cultural and demographical information. If you are even thinking about a move, this is an excellent reference tool.

INACCURATE!
If you analyze the ranking and ratings of this book, you will find very serious misrepresentations! Try to Compare two of your familiar cities one has low crime rate and the other much higher. What you will find is that they are about the same!! Try San Francisco and Oakland, San Jose and Richmond, CA. When you are looking for a safe place to live and raise your kids, you are likely ending up with a crime hovering place. I don't have any bias against rich or poor, but just the nature of the book--it is inaccurate and misleading!

Very detailed data
Wow! This may be more than some of you care to see, it's the size of a phone book. But, it is easy to read and find the bits that you are interested in. Very well organized, and valuable data. It is a great match with "100 Best Tax Cities".
