Govistics fans, rejoice! And those of you who haven’t signed up yet, you now have a laundry list of reasons to change your minds.

As of last week, Govistics’ tech and data master, Mike Silva, has officially upgraded the database with the following improvements:

• FBI Unified Crime Reports data for all municipalities reporting public safety information to the FBI
• A new year of spending, revenue, and employment data for municipalities
• Total payroll dollar figures (great to compare with employment counts) for municipalities

The database will also be more user-friendly, as what formerly took the form of “elevator buttons” to scroll through menu options have been replaced with drop-down menus. We made that change based on user feedback, so please be in touch with us by email at support@govistics.com or info@govistics.com with questions or concerns.

Also, did we mention that you can now access all county data (every county in the U.S.A.!) at the Pro-level for free? We hope that you’ll test-drive the database at the county level, see how valuable Govistics can be for your research, and stick with us.

Keep in touch with Govistics on Twitter and Facebook for more updates and relevant news headlines, and thanks for checking in!
