Thematic Data Visualization
Here's an alternative to creating a raster "pseudo-elevation" data set of values for thematic data visualization: keep your polygons in vector and extrude based on the thematic value.

The image above illustrates absolute population growth for Colorado counties between 1990 and 2000.
An additional advantage of this technique: you can make your polygons transparent (click for high res version):
...and you can easily change views without adding more thematic data:
