I gotta say, this is a really cool project, I don't see how the end users wouldn't / didn't find the maps interesting or useful. I would love to have one of these for my areas.

Perhaps the pages they were landing on could have been better optimized so users would view the map, or the map could be on every page.

I have added a neighborhood map to each property page, in addition to the Bing "Bird's Eye." I'm also working on a Leaflet-based map of the whole state with the parcel layer. Still thinking over how to handle creating the vector tiles and linking them up to the assessment information. NJ's parcel GIS data gets updated yearly, while the assessment/sales records are updated weekly. I don't want to have the assessment data in the vector tiles, so I've got to perform some matching & retrieving data after they're loaded.
