This is amazing http://65.39.85.13/google/. It's an application which gives you a brief demographic report of an area when you click on a point on a map. Two companies SRC and analyGIS have combined Google Maps with data from the US 2000 Census.

The application gives data for 1 mile, 3 mile and 5 mile radii from the point which you click. It's very, very interesting.

What I like about living here is that we're forgotten. Not that the village is remote or anything. We're just, well, off the map. Hah! :))

so you're local then?

(spent last night watching League of Gentlemen on dvd - the first series)

also,
found a similar tool through the British Census site that allows you to look at data for local authority areas, including the very fascinating Deprivation index where 1 is bad, very bad, worst, and 354 is REAL good, in fact, best.

you can play with it here: Neighbourhood Statistics
