Neigboroo: Demographic Map Mashups

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.
