Patchwork Nation

In a project that reminds me a lot of the Claritas PRIZM system, Patchwork Nation is a collaboration between the Christian Science Monitor, PBS' NewsHour and local public broadcasting stations to divide the country's counties into twelve different categories. The demographic categories (such as Emptying Nests, Evangelical Epicenters, Immigration Nation, and Mormon Outposts) are being used to look at the country through various filters, much like in the PRIZM system. It's very much worth a look!
