Gary--

I've found that with a little work you can find out quite a bit about an area by comparing census data over time. It's easy to spot troubling trends once you know what you're looking for.

Start here:

census.gov

I did a 1980, 1990 comparison for some marginal neighborhoods while a community development commissioner. IIRC gleaning the 1990 data was easy peasy because it was on CD. I really had to dig for the 1980 data which was at that time still on paper (and still is?) Bear in mind census tract boundaries can change over time as population shifts about making a comparison somewhat problematic.
