Today I filled out my census form for our household of two people in less than three minutes. As I put our form in the corner mail box, I wondered how many other people in the United States had filled out and mailed their census forms.
Yesterday, the Census Bureau announced the roll-out of new interactive maps, developed in collaboration with Google, that show 2010 census mail participation rates and allow communities to track the percentage of households mailing back forms. The data is uploaded Monday through Friday.
The link to the map is: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/.
How very cool! What other gov’t maps could Google help with?
