Diversity Data Kids [Interactive Maps]

This site is great because it allows users to generate custom maps based on certain variables of interest. One can generate the maps based on a number of geographic areas (states, counties, school districts, metro areas)

The majority of the indicators are related to children's outcomes in some way; however, keep in mind that not all variables are available at all of the location types. Some of the variables can be broken down further by race or poverty level.

• Population Demographics and Diversity
• Early Childhood Care and Education
• Education
• Health
• Parental Employment
• Policy
• Income and Poverty

Here is an example of a map that I generated.  

I really like that these maps are so easy to generate and the program generally seems to run quickly; however, one of the reasons is because the options are limited.  The lack of choices makes things pretty user friendly - but it also means that you don't get too much complexity here. In addition, I have not  found out any way to download the data that are generated.   Despite this drawback, the tool is a nice way to make a quick map of a variable of interest.
