| Re: MapPoint Data
MapPoint can plot data by census tract and zipcode. For free housing data, you will probably have to get that from the US Federal Government. The Census Bureau is a good place for a lot of demographics, but someone like the Housing Agency would be the place for house prices. Note that you will probably have to do a little bit of work to get the data into a usable form. Eg. when I've worked with US Census summary data, it has been formatted in a fixed character position format reminiscent of Fortran or Cobol. Richard
