New York SBDC Research Network

We'll get inquiries once in a while on finding contact information for school districts around the state. For years, we'd rely on a database generated by the State Education Department that was a bit cumbersome to navigate. Here, then, is an alternative, from the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics: http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/ Regardless of the geographic scope of your results, you can choose to download your findings directly into a spreadsheet. Note that this database is for public schools only.

We've written occasionally about Melissa Data's website before. There is a wealth of data available. Instead of me listing the highlights for you, below is a list of information that is provided by the site. I've broken it down by the level of geography by which data can be found. With respect to providing research for our clients, I find the links for home sales, nonprofit organizations, business credit reports, and income tax returns especially useful. General U.S. Addresses - Verify & correct any U.S. address. Canadian Addresses - Look up & correct Canadian addresses. Carrier Routes Radius - Displays the Carrier Routes in a radius around a given street address. People Finder - Locate anyone anywhere with public records. Business Credit Report - Comprehensive financials and credit risk facts. Easy-to-read format. By ZIP Code Home Sales - Get the monthly home sales and selling price by ZIP Code.
