Currently when I enter in my address the map geocodes it and zooms to that spot on the map, and display only the the tier the address fall within. I'd like to browse around and view the tiers of local census tracts, but now I can't.

You could just remove the filtering, since the zoom and pin drop do a good job of "filtering" segments near the geocoded address visually.

A user pointed out a big discrepancy in our census information.

Tier 17031030603 (306.03) is listed as Tier 2, but has a median household income of $58,281.

According to CPS's own census data and Census Explorer, the median income for this tract is more like $26,357

We are currently using 2010 census data for our map, which should definitely be updated. But even so, it's strange that we have a 2x difference between a two year period.

From CPS OAE: The tiers for the 2017-2018 school year will be updated by October 3, 2016.

We will need to update the tier map with this new info, following these steps: https://chihacknight.org/blog/2015/10/09/the-labor-required-to-keep-civic-apps-alive.html

Start collecting and curating responses we've gotten from CPS parents on the Tier system.

Seem to be missing some data for two tracts:

17031980100
and
17031835700

CPS OAE has released new tier numbers for 2015-2016.

We need to update our Fusion Table and map with this new information.

CPS recalculates the tiers every year using popstats and previous year test scores of students from a census tract.

Both types of data are noisy.

Might be worth adding a discussion of this noise. Effective visualisation might be to show linecharts for each tier that has changed in the past four years or so. Many of these will bounce around.

Thoughts @mccc

I've merged the new Tiers into the other Fusion Tables but the original Fusion Tables are not public so I can't see the map symbology used. I'm also not sure how we want to handle the Tier Differences page now that there are 3 years worth of data.
