Ask HN: Is Geospatial MultiPolygon Data interesting to anyone?

So about a year ago a friend of mine and I succeeded in accumulating Geospatial MultiPolygon data for states, counties, cities, zipcodes, boroughs, and neighborhoods across the US. After getting the data loaded into a PostGIS enabled Postgres database we both got busy and kind of put our little pet project on the back burner.

We're currently revisiting the project and working on finishing up the API. Yesterday a thought occurred to us that we couldn't answer: Will this data be interesting or useful to anyone other than ourselves?

We would love to get the thoughts of the HN crowd figuring that if the data isn't interesting to anyone here it might not be interesting to anyone :)

You can see the data in action here:

Thanks for the feedback!
