    ThisWeKnow.org - Governmental Data About Your Area

    thisweknow

    Everybody knows that the U.S. government collects information about every single community in the country. That is important because experts are provided with data they can use to solve different problems that could appear anywhere. This website was created in order to present this information to the public in a simple and easily accessible way. This means everybody will be able to understand what is going on in their communities, and have more power when it comes to making wiser decisions.

    How does this system work? Well, the answer to hat questions is quite long. However, it could be briefly said that this site functions in a simple way for the users - they just need to enter the name or ZIP code of any community and immediately the system will trigger the results.

    ThisWeKnow calls the pages that are generated when searches are launched by the name of "factoids". These factoids are no more than single sentences that express statistics about the community in question. The user can delve into any of them as much as he wishes, in order to get more accurate results. In case this sounded interesting and you feel you want to know more about This We Know, just set your browser to the site and launch your own search.

    In their own words

    Is the provided data embeddable?
