AMAZING visualisation showing the power of urban population density.

If you're an American, could you please comment whether you live in a grey or red area?

@JeanPhilippe I'm not sure what I'm looking at

@pete if you compare all of the gray area with the red area, they both have the exact same population (number of people)

@JeanPhilippe Red. But it's also not a good visualization because the unit is counties. A very substantial fraction of the red _area_ is nearly uninhabited parts of California. They are part of populous counties precisely because so few people live there that it's not worth having a separate county government.
