[OldNorth] Click on the Census map to find the density in any Block in Davis

[Z Smith]

John wanted to know about the population density in Old North vs. College 
Park.  Here's how to do it yourself, no measuring tape required:

If you want to find the population density of any block in Davis, just use 
the Census website.  Following the instructions below will take you to a map 
of Davis with population density sorted Block by Block.  Above the map you 
can set the action ("re-center and zoom" by default) to "Identify".  This 
will bring up a little pop-up window with the population density of the 
block you click on.

Sample results:

Old North: between D & E Street and 6th & 7th Street:  5000 persons per 
square mile

College Park: west side of College Park drive: 5261 persons per square mile
