Title: Tiger Census Data Mapper
Format: Website
Website: http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowse-tbl/
Interactive site allowing customized demographic mapping of communities in the USA.
PROS
Extensive mapping capability.
Allows customized overlays.
Freely available to anyone.
CONS
Demographic data is based on the 1990 Decenniel census and 1998 Tiger Line data, so it is a bit outdated, but it is still useful if combined with other sources.
SUMMARY
This site offers some very exciting tools for the churchplanter or pastor. Maps of any area can be generated and modified using custom overlays for various factors, both physical and demographic. The biggest problem is the age of the data, which can still be useful when showing trends in combination with other data sources.
Only because of the age of the data, this site ranks 4 out of 10.
