Google Maps Radius Hack

AnalyGIS has teamed up with SRC to develop a proof-of-concept application combining the Google Maps API with SRC's robust Allocate™ demographic engine. With this API, a single mouse click on a Google Map will return two different Census 2000 Demographic reports for 1, 3, and 5 miles around any location and simultaneously add radius rings to the map. Because both Google Maps and Census 2000 demographic information are free, this powerful, yet incredibly simple application can bring a whole new level of instant location-based analysis to individuals and organizations across the United States. Retailers can quickly perform site-selection analysis, government agencies can study neighborhoods to determine appropriate levels of service, non-profits can study a population base to determine where they should operate, and much more.
