I have recently stumbled upon a presentation and paper by Duncan Smith exploring geovisualization of 2001 area classification of output areas using building level resolution of urban area (London in this example).
Two questions:
Could you point me to any other examples of such applications using social/economic/health data?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of your examples?

Noise mapping a good example of such visualization at the building-level (it is even more detailed, at the facade level). The advantage is obvious: mapping such phenomenon is not possible in 2D. The disadvantage is that is is hard to see the overall noise repartition.
