[Buzzard]

MIT student has plotted every census reporting person in the US and Canada on a map. Shows the density difference across the continent, or in your neighborhood.

Quite cool.

The gaps at YYC and Nosehill are pretty cool.

And the gap in the CBD.

I found me!

I found comparing the darkness of the NYC area, compared to Southern California somewhat interesting. I would have thought they'd be somewhat similar

[TurnedTheCorner]

The Calgary-Edmonton corridor and I15 really stand out.

Lots of people seem to live on prince's island.

A little disconcerting that there are dots on Queens Park Cemetary.

The block-level census data sometimes bleeds into adjacent open spaces

On the other hand, you could argue that the Queens Park Cemetary population is quite high, they just aren't of the Living Variety

The East vs West dichotomy is pretty striking. It's like there was a line drawn down the center of the continent.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Sure are a lot of people living in Fish Creek Park.

Good map for survival planning when the zombie apocalypse is upon us.

Also interesting is the massive areas of un-inhabited places,
California, Wyoming, Nebraska etc...

[Bunk]

The grid pattern of settlement in the US midwest/plains is really interesting to me.

Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I'm not a number
I'm not a number
Dammit I'm a man
I said I'm a man
