I was excited and kind of sad to see this post. I heard this episode of "This American Life" a long time ago, (it's a rerun) and this story has kind of been my pet since then. I loved the idea, have mentioned it occasionally around town, and always felt like I knew a precious bit of information. Now everyone knows about it, well it's not like no-one else listens to "This American Life", but I still felt like it was mine. Anyway, my true comment it here: It's just such a clever and human way to use such a technical device! Lovely!
Has nobody ever heard of GIS (Geographical Information System) before? There's loads of software that does exactly this, without you having to walk around your neighbourhood to get it. It can also help with correlating geographic information: for example, overlaying where residents of a city get cancer at an accelerated rate, on top of where the factories are located.
I like these diagrams in their own right, but this is exactly the stuff that thousands of people do every day in the geographical and environmental studies fields.
