At lunch today, there was a discussion about web data resources for demographic
data that can be imported into ABMs. I've been pretty impressed with
http://www.dataplace.org. Keith Hunter and I have been messing with it for some
urban housing studies. It has a strong googleMaps-like interface with
surprisingly fast performance.

To try it out, put in a city name, pull up a map and then add the gis layers
from the right-hand side that are categorized by Housing, Income, Mortgage
Lending and Social / Demographic.

Anyone else have a useful resource for demographic maps?

This is not demographic data per se, but an interesting site related to
property ownership in New York City can be found at
