[Neighboroo][1] is a fun little site that gives a visual face to usually faceless data like population density, cost of living indexes, tax rates and more. The site combines neighborhood statistics with color-coded Google maps to display information. 

It's an interesting way to dig through census data (or at least I'm assuming the information is coming from census data) without loosing yourself in the numbers. The color codes on the map could be a little bit starker in contrast, sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what shade you're looking at, and deeper zooming on the maps would be nice, but Neighboroo is great at what it does.

Handy for anyone who's moving or thinking of moving and I'm sure there's other uses as well. Found via Folksonomy.
