Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

Despite my reservations about posting this (out of a very real fear that Google will force this site to come down), it’s pretty cool so I’m going to post about it anyway.  Jimmy Palmer, the editor for the DRM Blog, has created gCensus, which combines census data with Google Maps.  See land, water, housing, and population information for any given geographical area, down to a city block. 

I had a lot of fun playing with it and found some interesting stats about my neck of the woods.
