Map of the week

If you want to think about something freaky, let’s think about aliens not coming here as they would likely just destroy us.

Population of Young Children in the City of Buffalo, NY

This dot map shows the population of the City of Buffalo in purple with a proportional symbol of the number of children under five in transparent spiral squares.

World Cities Population

This map is fun because it is my first 3D map! Lots of big cities. The center of Africa is interestingly less populated. But I think that those who like Burning Man could go and start that there.

Population of Seniors in Idaho

These two maps show the population of seniors in Idaho with Forest Service lands and without Forest Service lands.
