Neighboroo uses Google maps to give you statistics about your hometown. You can look up housing prices, cost of living, income, racial breakdown, commute times, crime rates, and political affiliation. For example, the median price of a home in Brooklyn is $493,000 (twice the national average) and the average household has 2.8 people with an income of $64,000. Link -via J-Walk Blog

    Neat, but why can you not zoom in to where it's actually useful? :( They shouldn't limit the zoom like that.

    Sounds like a bargain--San Diego's median income is $55K and the median home price is $933K.

    Unfortunately, I don't trust the statistics listed here. I know for a fact that the population listed for my city is waaaaaaay off!

    You know what Mark Twain said: "There's lies, damned lies, and statistics."

    Check out HotPads.com too. It is a rental housing search site that has heat maps like Neighboroo and also provides census data, wikipedia articles, etc. It's pretty cool
