Great source for UWM initiatives!

The Census Bureau has released a new product titled Community Economic
Development HotReports.
The reports are issued at the county level and give a nice overview of
economic, demographic, housing and transportation topics. They are
dynamically generated by pulling "live" data from various sources, so
should always be pretty current.

Good place to go when you need basic data for Milwaukee County, like
top industries, average commute times, percent with bachelor's degree,
poverty rate, etc.
