[CTPP] Census Mapping Tool

Please keep your eyes out for this and let us all know what you think...It looks to be based on migration flows but who knows someday it might grow to consider commuter flows. ------- American Community Survey 2006-2010 County-to-County Migration Flows Mapper Tool and 2006-2010 County-to-County Characteristics Migration Tables — Based on data collected during the American Community Survey from 2006 to 2010, the county-to-county migration tables give added information on the paths of the 17.3 million people who moved to another county. The tables provide the current county of residence, the county of residence one year ago and the estimated number of movers between the counties. Additional tables provide the same information broken down by selected characteristics: age, sex, race or Hispanic origin. The Census Bureau has developed its first beta version of an online mapping tool called Census Flows Mapper. It is an interactive application that allows users to select a county in the U.S. and view the outbound, inbound and net migration flows for that county. Additionally, users can choose flows based on characteristics such as age, sex, race or Hispanic origin. The application also allows users to download the data for the flow they have selected, zoom in and out on the map to an area of interest, view additional statistics of the selected county and print their map to a PDF file.
