Unique Interactive Census Map

Published on January 4, 2007 in Choropleth Map, Cities, Income - Average, Median, US Census and United States. Closed

The Social Explorer is one of the most unique presentation of Census data I have found on the web. It not only allows you to create maps of different Census data series but you can create slideshows on the fly (or create a report by selecting different locations on your map). Unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to save a slide show but here are some examples of the maps I made:

Median Household Income for the United States:

I also appreciate their infographic:
