It seems that this week is an important week for those invested in the same-sex marriage debate. The debate is still on going, but we can first take a look to see where are the same-sex couples living in the New Jersey .

From the Heat Map, you can see the distribution of same-sex partner households in NJ, and you will get the details by clicking on the regions. Even though the map is not really up-to-date as the source was from 2010 Census, we can still take a glance about the issue.

We are not discussing about the same sex marriage issue, but we would like to show you how the interactive Google Map can tell story to the public.

We can create Heat Map to visualize the population distribution, and insert info box with text or other media contents to showcase a news. Try to think a topic and create one to express your thoughts now. Here is another United States Heat Map that tells stories within US.
