I recently came across Neighboroo, a website that mashes-up Google Maps with demographic data. You can search for a number of things, ranging from median home price to elementary school levels. You can scroll around the map yourself, or enter a location into the search box to search a local area.
What I like about Neighboroo is that you can get down to the local zip code level. I ran a quick search for Orlando and found the following map. You can click on “More Info” to see the full demographic data for that zip code.
I think we’ll continue to find that as technology companies make their data easier to work with (ex: Google Maps API), and government and other private organizations making their data more accessible, that mashups such as Neighboroo will be more common.

Interesting, I’ll have to double check the figures in our town to see how they match up.
