Us population density map full#

More than 75% of the land area is red, when looking at the map based on land areas, while shifting to the population view only about 46% of the map is red. As a result, the blue counties tend to be the smaller ones so blue is visually less represented than it should be based on vote totals. Less densely populated counties tend to vote republican, while higher density, typically smaller counties tend to vote for democrats.

An interesting thing to note is that this view is even more heavily dominated by the color red, for the same reasons. This map looks at the 20 presidential election results, county by county. Thus, when your eyes attempt to discern which color prevails, the comparison is more accurate and attempts to replicate the relative ratio of electoral votes for each side. That cartogram changed the size of the states so that large states with low population, and thus low electoral votes tended to shrink in size, while smaller states with moderate to larger populations tended to grow in size. On a normal election map, Red states dominate, especially because a number of larger, less populated states happen to vote Republican. The idea for that map was that by portraying a state as Red or Blue, your eye naturally attempts to determine which color has a greater share of the total. Previously, I created a map (cartogram) that showed the state by state electoral results from the Presidential Election by scaling the size of the states based on their electoral votes. This interactive map shows the election results by county and you can display the size of counties based on their land area or population size.

Showing the most recent 20 out of 224 comments. Please add the location search option, it is difficult to find the location by zoom. Used this to discover that in the second episode of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Thor kills approximately 240,000 peopleīest site found ever. I keep getting 'Please wait' and population information does not show up. I had issue with 'please wait' when putting postcode in, but i zoomed into the map and clicked on the area i wanted to plot with the mile / km already input, and clicked 'find population', the population figure was there :) When you do it counter-clockwise, it doesn't work, idk why. The tool sucks!! Tried to make it work multiple ways. Most often, this is because your radius is too small to process.' 20 miles radius is too small? This worked a couple months ago, but now does not The comment made on 24th May, you can type in (almost) any location in the box below, but for some reason it doesn't have a couple of the major cities around the world, but that's not an issue, as long as THE TOOL WILL WORK AT ALL! Most often, this is because your radius is too small to process. I have no idea why they haven't done anything. Would be great to add a features that can click on two or more countrie and find out combined population and combined area. What happened to this map? It's not working anymore :( Why isn't the population tool working anymore? Do you need donations? What's the prob please? 28th June 2014 : Version 1 - Initial Version.15th July 2014 : Version 1.1 - Polygon Search now works clockwise and anticlockwise.15th July 2014 : Version 2 - Added radius circle search for population.8th November 2014 : Version 2.1 - Added Zoom to Fit button.15th January 2015 : Version 2.2 - Now displays circle radius in miles as well as km.
