Pretty extensive ! I should have first looked at the whole page. Over 50 pages of data on the comparison of two cities. Looks nice so far. I did not see any obvious errors.
Have not finished looking through it completely, will come back.
There's an awesome accumulation of info in these new features. Shouldn't be many questions left unanswered by those looking to compare two cities. Excellent !

Well 1 thing is it doesnt work w/o scripts (I had to enable them) I dont think thats an error though..
But YES Poncho Its quite extensive,alot of time must have went into this....
Looks good except for one of the categories on the City comparison. It said that the town next to me had
462 registered sex offenders. That's crazy. There was a link to the actual data and that said 10.
Wow! The "Compare Two Cities" is pretty cool! I haven't tried the Advanced City Search yet. Haven't found any bugs yet.

Off the top of my head, between my two targeted cities (my hometown and DC):
-Racial make-up for my hometown seems off.
-Highest observed summer temperature is way off for my hometown, by about 40˚ F.
-Temperature difference during a year is way off for my hometown.
-Highest daily high temps is also off by about 15˚F in my hometown.
-Air pollution index seems too low considering my hometown ranks as being more polluted than DC in every list out there yet here it places DC as being more polluted. The difference in air quality is also visually more present in my hometown (smog. Or as locals call it; overcast) than it is in DC.
-State government workers is way too low for my hometown considering that The State is the #1 employer for this city.
-Median homebuilt year for my hometown seems off; it says 1971 yet nearly all still-standing properties were built in the 1940s and 1950s.
-Number of convenience stores with gas is way too low for my hometown (or the DC number is way too high).
-Law enforcement numbers are low for my hometown. Or, they could be the correct number for my city itself but my city has two things that DC does not: County Sheriffs (quite a few of them) and Highway Patrol (also quite a few of them). Considering that both County Sherifs and Highway Patrol have full jurisdiction in my hometown, they should be counted, too. At least the Sheriffs since they predominantly operate in my hometown and not necessarily in "the County".
-The arena in my hometown changed its name years ago although every fan still uses the old name listed in the City vs. City profile. Also, the address is listed as being in my hometown but if you look on a map it is outside of the city limits by a good distance.
Also, at least half of my hometown falls outside of the "official" city limits yet everyone considers this area to be a part of the city (the arena is not in this half, btw). This other area is not the suburbs. Don't know how that would factor into things.

Seeing all the interesting statistics when comparing two cities makes that tool very impressive.
