Census / Google Maps Mashup

This page links to maps that combine U.S. Census Bureau information with Google Maps; the Mapeteria service allows you to map your own data.

See my FAQ and my blog entries about maps.

These maps let you flip between a number of different, related, demographic maps.

  • Race and density: population density, percent White, Black, Latino, Asian, Hawai'ian/Pacific Islander, Native American
  • Age distribution: median age and age groups
  • Housing units: percent occupied, vacant, owner-occupied, rentals
  • Household composition: percent single men without kids, single women without kids, single men with kids, single women with kids, married couples with kids, married couples without kids

If you want to roll your own map, see the expert mode form.

There are some strangenesses in the data.
