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
