Census Data by State - Part of a very large Census Data site, this site permits you to choose a state, and then go to very specific population data. Another avenue to find census data is to use the U.S. Gazeteer (a dictionary of place names).  The Gazeteer entry will permit you to see and modify a map of your requested area.  See also the Historical United States Census Browser to compare detailed census data from each decennial census from 1790 to 1970.

Census Information on Neighborhoods - from Baltimore Dept. of Planning; data from 2000 National Census.
