G'day again Kat, Ebbie, JennieG,

I don't know how much profile they draw from the Zip Code. If they factor in climatic / population / urban stresses &c ... I think Juneau, Alaska has more than superficial differences!

A rough climatic match for Sydney's 33º55" south (allowing ~ 5º for the colder Southern Hemisphere, with an ice cap some 5º larger) would be (~) Norfolk, in SE Virginia - an east coast area, like Sydney ... but with a decidedly smaller population (about one twelfth of Sydney's). If I need to match 'urban pressures', I guess the better match might be a suburb of Washington, D.C. (nominally only one fifth of Sydney's population ... but that may be a artifact of different ways of splitting [or lumpimg] urban populations ... and somewhat further from 'seacoast' influences!).

If anybody can give me appropriate zip codes for an "inner suburb" of either place (I live in Leichhardt, an inner western suburb - about 6 kilometres from the Central Business District - and catch a bus into town to work ... then walk home at night) I can try them in the program, with a reasonable belief that I am not skewing the result inordinately!

Regards,

Bob
