Hello from Washington D.C.
As many of you know I compile the daily ResourceShelf web site. Here are two
items that I've recently posted that might be of interest to you.
If you've never visited ResourceShelf, an invite to do so.

Now, the two new items.
1)

New Database Launched in the UK With Neighbourhood Data
http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/
From an Western Mail article, ...service which will give home-buyers, academics
and local authorities access to online information about individual
neighbourhoods was launched yesterday. At a click of a button users will
receive data - everything from house prices to unemployment levels - about a
selected area anywhere in England and Wales. The Office for National Statistics
has compiled the information for 8,850 electoral wards and 175,434 small local
areas after the £200m April 2001 survey of the population.
