Market Evaluation in Different Markets

[Shronda Sledge]

Good morning,

I'm learning different markets to invest in. Often times when I use sites like city-data.com or datausa.io, I receive conflicting information. While this is expected, I want to use a tool that can give me the closest accurate information as possible. Has anyone used census.gov or any other tools?
