App Tells You Where You Would Like to Live

Looking for a community that better suits your lifestyle?  The U.S. Census Bureau’s new app for mobile devices, dwellr, can help.  After answering questions concerning your age, marital status, friends’ age and education, dream job, prospective commute, weather preferences, and ideal community size, the app pairs you with communities matching your preferences.  You can sort them by distance, map them, and explore demographic, housing, and socio-economic information.  And, using your device’s GPS feature, the app can also provide this information for your current location.

The app is free and available for Apple and Android devices.
