    Public Policy Institute of California: Map Room
    http://www.ppic.org/main/mapindex.asp

    The Public Policy Institute of California provides timely research
    papers and policy briefs on various issues affecting the Golden State,
    including those related to public education financing, economic
    development, immigration, and transportation. As of late, they have
    also been beefing up their online map room area, which is a great
    resource for those with an interest in policy matters, geography, and
    urban studies. The interactive maps here are divided into four
    categories, including housing, population, water, and environment.
    With each map, visitors can click through to learn about different
    details and features, and many of the maps have additional layers of
    data as well. Perhaps the most interesting maps here include "Inland
    Empire Demographics: 2005 and 2015" and "Home Affordability in
    California's Counties". [KMG]
