Here's the final version of the global population density graphic I made, because another one that is circulating was less well defined, and someone cropped NZ off it

I decided to create a few more European population density renders - you can find more here if you need a break from the doomscrolling: statsmapsnpix.com/2020/04/popula…

Today's map is the final revision of my attempt to split the population of the UK into four roughly equal parts using a big grid and then designate capital cities that nobody would have a problem with 😉

Okay, some European population density stuff now - starting with the top 100 1km grid squares by population across Europe, based on the most recent Eurostat data - more to follow

How big is the 90 minute public transit commuter zone for London vs San Francisco? This is my attempt to answer the question. Arrival point is central London or downtown SF. So, light areas = you ought to be able to reach central London/downtown SF within 90 minutes.

I'm getting ready to go back to the West Highlands next week so I thought I'd make a 'will it be raining when I'm in the West Highlands, and will I be able to see Ben Nevis this time, and also do I need my waterproofs?' map

I always wondered what a population density spike map + political map would look like so I had a go at it (in new version of #aerialod) and my verdict is: slightly mad, but quite interesting

How far south do you have to go before you get to 50% of England and Wales living north of the line? Figures always give % of England and Wales population above/below the moving line. (reposting this for anyone who wants to avoid work and learn some essential demography trivia)

a few of Japan now - definitely one of the most interesting countries in relation to population distribution and density

Marine traffic around the UK, in maps. Just a bit of summer blog fun, but actually quite interesting. Loads more maps here, including zoomed-in versions: statsmapsnpix.com/2018/08/watchi…
