Hightstown and Changes in Demographics
The New York Times has an application called Mapping the 2010 U.S. Census that will allow you to browse population growth and decline, changes in racial and ethnic concentrations and patterns of housing development based on changes in the United States census. It will also allow you to view the percentage of homes that are vacant and those that have only one occupant. All in all a very neat little tool developed by Matthew Bloch, Shan Carter and Alan McLean using the data from the US Census Bureau and application help from socialexplorer.com . Just type in the 08520 zip code in the box on the upper right side and you are off exploring.
