I think Seattle house-hunters and residents will find this useful.

It's an interactive map of how rich/poor every neighborhood in Seattle is. The website is [url]RichBlocksPoorBlocks.com[/url]. You type in an address, and it finds the place. You can click each neighborhood to get more info on its median income.

Here's an income map of Seattle, for instance.

How rich is your area?

I wonder if there's any correlation on crime rates and lower income areas.
Auburn has a 'crime map' which I personally enjoy looking at from time to time: http://maps.auburnwa.gov/crimes/

So if anyone wanted to they could look for an immediate correlate between crime and income.
