one or more servers configured to:
receive, from a web browser, a request for a desired segmenting granularity of a geographical area, the desired segmenting granularity corresponding with a center of the geographical area and a zoom level, the geographical area including geographic segments at the desired segmenting granularity;
retrieve shapefiles based on the geographical area and the desired segmenting granularity, the shapefiles defining static geographic boundaries of the geographic segments at the desired segmenting granularity;
retrieve population data corresponding to each of the geographic segments within the geographical area from one or more databases;
generate symbolization instructions for the geographic segments of the geographical area based on the population data;
