I'm not able to find what I wanted so I made this instead. Natural Breaks  Government shut down means the site with TIGER files is down. I could probably other water files and make my own in order to make the map look right (implies areas which are actually water have vacant homes) but  for something I'm just playing with.e: Standard Deviation (bad for this data)  Quantile (make much more of the city look worse)  Equal Interval (what vacant homes?)

cheerfullydrab posted:Here's a nice cartogram. US states given an amount of land proportionate to their population. Fun twist, it's from 1911 and it's based off numbers from the 1910 Census. This is kind of great. I love how most of the states are nowhere near their original locations. Kind of shows how much of the population was concentrated in the Northeast. I wonder what a similar map would look like today. I like the contrast between Colorado and Utah.

Here's a density map from 2000 since all the relevant 2010 data has been furloughed:  quote:2000 U.S. population density within each county (by parish in Louisiana), in persons per sq. mile (lower 48 states only): It reminds me a lot of this population density map of China, although The US's boundary is the Mississippi river while China's is more the historic area controlled by China:  (for reference, everything in dark orange to red would be violet on the US map)

Yeah, most of the urban population in the West coast is packed much more closely together is a close set of counties.

computer parts posted:Here's a density map from 2000 since all the relevant 2010 data has been furloughed: I actually copied the 2012 county population figures into a spreadsheet about a month ago, so I have the relevant data just by sheer happenstance. I was working on making my own map when I realized the 1910 map doesn't include Alaska, which has some interesting consequences. Including such a large landmass and redistributing it makes the rest of the states balloon in size and all the West Coast states gets pushed out of the Continental US and into Alaska, so the map gets even more distorted. Anyway, I found some interesting numbers playing around with the county information. 99% of Americans live in counties making up 58% of the US landmass, leaving 42% of the US to just 1% of the population. 50% of Americans live on 3 percent of land, and 5% of Americans (mostly New Yorkers) live on just 0.03% of the land.

Which I find amusing as a Canadian- half of our provinces would only get 1 congressional vote and 3 EVs in the United States System- and I'm being INCREDIBLY generous to PEI. As it is in our current system, small provinces are fairly overrepresented in Canada, particularly PEI.

^ ^ ^ That's why we have a bicameral legislature. The House is meant to give power proportionally with population, whereas in the senate, since every state gets two senators, the small states are technically "over-represented" relative to their size. But it's done that way to ensure that the big states can't just all gang up and do whatever they want. ^ ^ ^DrSunshine posted:I still find it incredible that the entire state of Montana is just one single congressional district! And Vermont, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska. As said, all states with populations less than a million. But yeah, it does look weird in the larger states because there's so much area that's still one district, whereas with Vermont, its area is small enough that it doesn't look too out of place.

Yuengling only distributes near their breweries which really restricts their range. I was shocked to learn you can't buy it in Boston after getting a taste for it in suburban Alabama. It is possibly the only thing Birmingham does better than Boston.

The interesting things about Taiwan is that both governments agree that it should be part of mainland China, they just disagree who should rule mainland China.

My wife was utterly shocked that no one knows 24h time here an she has to convert everything to am/pm for anyone to understand. Her phone and computer show 24h and I still can't figure it out. I'll glance over to check the time, sit there doing math and then just give up and ask her. I have been educated stupid.

I suppose it can be confusing if you're not used to it. Most people where I live will still use 12-hour time in spoken conversations. You say you're going to meet up at eight, and not twenty hours, that would just sound weird. On the other hand, a 24-hour display makes much more sense to me than a 12-hour one.
