Find your kind of place.

Compare places to live across the United States using the things that shape your everyday life.

Start with what you want nearby

Choose grocery stores, shops, parks, hospitals, or other everyday destinations. Set a drive-time limit and see the areas near all your selections. Add work or another regular destination to compare commutes.

Look beyond the address

Compare typical home values and rents, internet coverage, natural hazard ratings, and monthly average temperatures. Explore warmer or cooler climates with historical NOAA weather normals.

Understand the data

Realistate brings together location data from All The Places and OpenStreetMap, internet coverage from the FCC, typical housing values from Zillow, hazard ratings from FEMA, city information from the Census, and climate normals from NOAA. The base map is provided by Google Maps.

Drive times are estimates. Housing values are area summaries, not listings or appraisals. Internet availability and hazard exposure must be checked for the specific property. Climate normals describe 1991–2020 averages, not future conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How does the weather map work?
