Discount U.S. Zip Code Shapefiles Based on 2010 U.S. Census Data. Why pay more?

I'm amazed at how much some companies charge for Zip Code boundary shapefiles. It makes no sense to me. Don't pay hundreds until you check these out.

East Somerville Community Mapping Project

I'll be updating the Resources for Community Mapping and Public Participation GIS page with new resources and projects.

The first project is the East Somerville Community Mapping Project. I hope that it will inspire you. If you are involved in a project or know of one, let me know.



This is a community map of East Somerville, located just northwest of Boston. Where are the community gardens? Do the bus stops have benches or shelters? What intersections have more foot traffic at different times in the day? Take a look at East Somerville through the eyes and ears of people who live here.
