Fun Demographic Exploration Tool

Seattle Population DistributionIf you want to play with census data, this is your chance. The New York Times has put together an intereactive mapping tool to explore where people live. Your neighborhoods may be more or less diverse than elsewhere, but it's an interesting way to see the patterns of segregation and clustering around the United States.

There are historical trends in almost every river front town why the bottom lands and the higher hills demonstrate income and social stratification. Most towns have their own natural and man-made divisions that include things like railroad tracks and highways that divide where people live. This is one of the best tools that I have seen to actually see what the population distribution looks like when laid out on maps in color.
