Hello,

The following is from an article in Science Daily:

"A new web-based mapping site allows users to see stark racial
boundaries, subtle shifts in income, and intricate patterns of race,
age, household size and income for any location in the United States.

The map, known as the synthetic population viewer and developed by
researchers at RTI International, allows users to look at how the U.S.
population organizes itself across the landscape and how age, income,
race and household size vary within cities."
