Critique on Social Explorer

The social explorer website is very informative regarding demographics in the United States. Although it has a very plain home page, once you start looking at all the census maps, it gets more interesting. I found it cool that there is a carbon emissions map. I am an environmental science major and have written a paper on carbon emissions. It's right up my alley. There are also maps for religion, which are useful to community planners, in case there is a need for a church. They can see what type of church would best suit the area that they are planning. The website is just good in general to see how advanced population has become in size over hundreds of years. It is really neat that the maps date back to the 1700's. The most recent map added is the location of Haitians in the U.S. after the earthquake. This is good in order to see just where they have been relocated to. The website is useful for students, teachers, planners and the government.
