Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.

The Money Train: Fundrace2004

Monday, March 22, 2004 12: 35 AM

Lots of people talking about Fundrace2004 Neighbor Search, a website that allows you to quickly view public campaign money contributions based on zip code, name, etc. Quite enlighting to see your own zip code (Apparently the CEO of the University of Phoenix is in my zip).

This would certainly be an interesting list to consult before that next meeting with the big wigs or potential clients. Knowing a person's political slant can certainly give a glimpse of what ideals or interests they *may* have. At the very least, you have one more topic to talk about...now if we just had a religion tracker...

Thought it would be interesting to match up the Fundrace site with zip codes I found on this site claiming to provide accurate data on cities. Selected the list of top "Top 100 Cities with Highest Median Household Income (pop. 5000+)" and selected a few zip codes. Results below:

  1. 94027
  2. 94010
  3. 80110
  4. 10583
  5. 10583
  6. 94022
  7. 94062
  8. 60093
  9. 60022
  10. 10514
For fun: On the infographics side, the Fundrace2004 City and National Maps are pretty slick.
