The Social Explorer is a joint effort from the National Science Digital Library and CUNY Queens College (with some funding from the New York Times, too). The idea is to provide visual maps of Census data, but with oomph than American Fact Finder. This is a dream come true for demographers who have probably been itching for some kind of visual tract representation for data other than the most recent Decennial. Social Explorer handles all sorts of socio-economic information dating back to the 1940 Census all the way down to the tract level. The result? an incredibly useful tool!(this map is a visualization of Subway Development Contributions to City Expansion: 1905-1940)
