...in their own words:

Social Explorer is an online research tool designed to provide quick and easy access to current and historical census data and demographic information. The easy-to-use web interface lets users create maps and reports to better illustrate, analyze and understand demography and social change.
Besides giving you access to Census data dating all the way back to 1790, Social Explorer can quickly and easily aggregate data spanning multiple municipalities, with geographic units as small as block groups.

For an example, here's some population, race/ethnicity, income, and real estate data for the aggregate Main Line (Lower Merion Township, Narberth Borough; Radnor Township; Tredyffrin Township; Easttown Township; Census Tracts 4083, 4084 of Haverford Township (along with their portion of the Ardmore and Haverford College CDPs; and the Willistown Township portion of the Paoli CDP) according to the 2007-2011 American Community Survey:

Other: 817 (0.6%)
2+ Races: 2,453 (1.7%)
There are additionally 4,153 (2.8%) Hispanics/Latinos of any race
-----
Median Household Income: $104,710
Median Family Income: $140,636
Per Capita Income: $63,074
-----
Median House Value for All Owner-Occupied Units: $490,013
*****

For a point of comparison, here's the same aggregate data for the Media-Swarthmore Area (Upper Providence Township, Media Borough, Middletown Township, Nether Providence Township, Rose Valley Borough, and Swarthmore Borough):

*****
Total Population: 52,085 (100.0%)

Median Family Income: $114,227
Per Capita Income: $44,354
-----

And the same data for the Lower Old York Road Region (Cheltenham Township, Abington Township, Rockledge Borough, Jenkintown Borough, Lower Moreland Township, Upper Moreland Township, Bryn Athyn Borough, and Hatboro Borough):

Median Family Income: $93,551
Per Capita Income: $38,869
-----
Median House Value for All Owner-Occupied Units: $278,609

Pretty neat, eh? Anyway, since Penn is kind enough to give me this awesome tool for free, I've decided, out of the goodness of my heart , to take requests for anyone interested in using it. It doesn't have to be about aggregating data either. You can also look up historical Census information dating back to 1790 (though the breadth of information obviously decreases the further you go back).

Is this some sort of perk of Penn that I've been missing, or did they grant you access for some type of project or something?
