PolicyMap Demographic Data on Your Neighborhood

PolicyMap is a new website that offers more than 4,000 points of data about any location in the United States, including demographics, real estate markets, crime, schools, housing affordability, employment type, energy consumption, and public investments. It's powered by a new Application Programming Interface (API) from commercial mapping service PushPin.

I tried it out and its pretty neat you can retrieve the data using maps or by clickign your mouse or whatever. It would be useful if someone wanted to investigate a location if they were moving or had a school report about a particular place or area.
