Data Visualization From the U.S. Census Bureau

Data visualization tools are graphical and sometimes even interactive portrayals of data sets. Due to their ease of use and visual nature, demand for visualization tools is rising and are considered by many businesses to be an integral part of big data analysis. Last December, the Census Bureau released its own data visualization tool, the Census Explorer. This interactive online map shows various demographic information based on their data sets, including median household income, educational level, and home ownership rate.

As this blog post from the Census Bureau points out, you can explore data at the state, county, and even the neighborhood level. You can also manipulate the data sets you are able to see to compare data across time periods, although the oldest data available is from 1990.
