Abstract
The development of Rich Internet Application tools and web mapping services, coupled with the dissemination of detailed, up-to-date socioeconomic data, present an opportunity to develop intuitive geospatial visual analytic tools. This paper presents our efforts at developing such tools that combine Google Maps, Flex, and data from the American Community Survey.
