animated residential growth map
June 11th, 2007 by Monkey
an animated & fully browsable map of all homes in the United States, based on the huge catalog of U.S. residential properties & their construction dates retrieved from Trulia. developed by the well-known stamen.com, the dynamic animations use the year the properties were built to show the growth of streets, neighborhoods & cities over time.
it is quite impressive to explore how some sudden residential growths develop over time, ranging from the lineair, grid-like Plano, Texas, the internal redevelopments caused by SoMa San Francisco or the fast growing metropolitan areas around Las Vegas.
