census tracts
There are three main ways to
get census tract maps on line:
- HUD's newly created interactive
online
map library lets you choose from a variety of types of maps,
including census tract maps. Highly recommended for finding mapped
data on your community, although actual statistical numbers are
curiously absent from their maps, and their site is at times
overwhelmed by too many visitors.
- The american fact finder maps from the Census
Bureau. If you want some help using the aff site, use our
map guide.
- land view III: Free mapping software from the EPA. The program
is very expensive but you can download a sample version for free.

The City Project and the Community
Studies of New York, Inc., recently created a report entitled
"City of Contrasts 2000: 51 New York City Council Districts"
which provides demographic, health, education and housing statistics
by City Council district. The report also includes a number of
maps showing immigration, asthma and infant mortality rates throughout
the City. The report is not currently online, but we are hoping
it will be soon. In the mean time, you can order the report for
$20.00 from City Project. Click here to open the printable order form for
the report.

other mapping
tools
- HUD's newly created interactive
online
map library lets you choose from a variety of types of maps,
including housing data and program maps, census tract and data
maps, and a number of other useful and user-friendly maps. Highly
recommended for finding mapped data on your community, although
actual statistical numbers are curiously absent from many of
their maps. One other temporary problem is that since the site
is new, it is at times overwhelmed by too many visitors at once.
- The EPA's enviromapper lets users enter a geographical
area and locate hazardous waste, toxic release, and other environmental
hazards present.
