That's a pretty cool data/maps mashup. Handy and simple, and now I know I live in the middle of the bell curve for almost everything.

Really cool, though I'm finding every city I look up has "Independent" listed at only 1%, including some (I'd assume) fairly Green places like San Francisco and Berkeley. Perhaps I'm missing something here?

Descriptions in the posts, people. For the love of Jeebus.

Try looking at DC, you can actually find some 2% areas! Their only explaination in this beta is: The colors are based on historical voting results and do not constitute any views or opinions expressed by Neighboroo.

Austin has 2%, too.

I wish you could zoom in just a wee bit more; the municipalities here in Eastern Massachusetts are very small area-wise and it's next to impossible to click on just the right spot for some places.

This is either really slow or doesn't work very well.

Try looking at DC, you can actually find some 2% areas! That's nothing, the DC Elementary School raking defies belief.

Not ready for prime time. "Retrieving..." "Bad Gateway..." What am I supposed to see?

A path to a better gateway. Probably not ready to scale.

Trying it again, now it sort of works, except the first thing it gives me -- political affiliation by party -- is for the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria metro area (favoring Republicans), not for Galveston Island (favoring Democrats), much less for my neighborhood. The "more info" link takes me to a zip-code data page. Maybe it should be Metroroo or Zipperoo.

Information on Hawaii is pretty sketchy. But that's nothing new.

Very nice. Some correlational results, like political affiliation and quality of schools would be nice.
