📝 How we sourced this
Population, income, and housing-cost figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (B-series tables). Crime data uses FBI UCR; climate uses NOAA Climate Normals; school counts come from NCES Common Core of Data; permits use the Census Building Permits Survey (BPS). See our methodology page for the full ETL pipeline and OMB / FIPS join keys.

A decision-led reading path
Useful questions to ask of Clio's data
How this reading path is ordered
This is not a composite city score. It is a city-specific route through the available public records, ordered for this profile so the page starts with questions the joined data can actually answer. The route here runs from comparison shortlist; another city can have a different sequence or fewer supported layers because the source joins are not uniform.
For Clio, city-specific coverage includes the base Census profile only.
No matched row is reported here for annual population history, local building permits, matched public-school count, within-city Census tract profiles, commute-mode shares, FBI reported-crime rates; the page leaves those layers out instead of substituting a statewide or national value.
Question 1
Which cities make useful reference points for Clio?
Within California, the closest population matches are El Monte Mobile (106 residents); Rackerby (106 residents, $51,719 income); Yettem (106 residents). Outside the state, the closest population matches in this dataset are Nelchina, AK (106 residents); Lawson, AR (106 residents); Smithville, AR (106 residents). A third, income-matched reference set of 6 out-of-state cities sits in the income neighbourhood chart near the Place Dossier plate. These are mechanical peer sets, not claims that the places share a labor market, climate, culture, or metro context.
Use the in-state set to hold state policy and broad price conditions more nearly constant. Use the nationwide size set to ask whether cities with a similar resident count produce different housing, income, or commute outcomes. The income set is a third lens, deliberately separate from population matching.

Each percentile compares Clio against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to California only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
