Next steps are improving this display (coloring by population density) and incorporating in all of the tools. When there's an isochrone around a point or a network buffer around a route, intersect it with the census polygons and sum up population totals.
Right now it's just showing a total population count, but there's endless questions somebody might want to ask. Maybe there could be more direct integration with popgetter to show any metric, or maybe they should still be curated based on specific use cases.

I've used https://github.com/Urban-Analytics-Technology-Platform/popgetter to generate a flatgeobuf file with total population count in 3 countries, and am starting to import/display it here. Try https://a-b-street.github.io/15m/ anywhere in England, USA, or Belgium, and use the top-right control:
