We came across a fun online tool that might be of interest to anyone harboring an inner statistics lover. It’s called ZIPskinny and allows you to plug in your zip code and then look at all its key demographic data and compare it other zip codes of one’s choice. Just for laughs, we took a look at 11215, which is basically Park Slope and 11211, which is essentially Williamsburg. The results are fascinating. For instance, more people in 11211 (70.6%) have lived at their current address for more than five years versus people in 11215 (55%). The median income in 11215 is $53,313 and is $23,567 in 11211. There are a lot of other comparisons. It’s a fun time killer when you want to compare vital stats by zip code.

This is a pretty cool thing. I was surprised about some of the stats in my area.

how is this any surprise? there are tons of children in williamsburg, albeit not from the incoming class of hipsters and yuppies.
