Add Location Data on a US Block Map

Block-Level Mapping by County

It is now possible to create a US block map per county! Now, Mapline makes it easy for you to represent your location data on a block-level mapping.  A block is the smallest geographic unit where the Census Bureau tabulates decennial census data. It is bounded by both visible and non-visible boundaries. For visible features there are roads, railroad tracks, streams, and streets. For non-visible, there are county boundaries, selected property lines and city, school district, and townships. 

Another good thing about letting Mapline assist you with data analyses is that in only just a few seconds, you can get population data based on criteria set for specific analysis. Mapline provides US demographic data wherein you can easily access household information, income, and population which you can overlay to your territory map.
