Exploring America

The New York Times has an interactive map which allows people to explore data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey from 2005 through 2009.

A quick look at the education attainment map showed that my sister's census block had 95% high school graduates, 82% with a bachelor degree and 31% with a master's degree or higher.  My census block had 87% high school graduates, 16% with a bachelor degree and 5% with a master's degree or higher.  And they make more money in her census block, I don't get it.
