This is an update and extension of a project I showed at the 2013 Open Knowledge Conference in Geneva.
The data were collected by an internet startup, loaded onto a public web site and analyzed in a study available at http://californiapolicycenter.org/californias-most-financially-stressed-cities-and-counties/
The study generated some media coverage (including an LA Times story):

Compared to my previous work, there are a couple of steps back from pure Open Data.  We no longer offer a file containing all the data on the site, and we ask for registration when you try to view a second city or county.  On the other hand, all the content remains totally free and we link to source files (available in PDF format).
