Wow. Now give me a crime overlay and make it controversial.

Note the lon/lat in the url. Makes it easy to retarget the map view.

Wow, that is pretty cool.

Interesting to look at a city like NYC. Manhattan is almost all blue and the Bronx is all red and orange. Even over in Brooklyn you can see where all the hipsters are moving to and which parts of the city have been revamped.

For the cities I am familiar with there is a definite correlation with property values as well.

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, there is a definite correlation between school expenditures and home values in any given neighborhood.

He has it all posted on github. You just need a compatible data source.

?  I'm not understanding the placement of the dots...How is that determined?  (I looked at Russell, KS just to see what it would say, and am not understanding it.)

each dot is supposed to represent 100 people. I don't know how it figures boundaries and placement. You would probably need to look at the underlying data, which is linked from either the interface or github
