Interesting Population Density Map (live, vs, move)

Am surprised how much smaller Houston looks compared to DFW on this

Also Detroit is still quite impressive on this map

I'm sorry though. But they have DFW and Houston higher than Miami. I disagree with that. Miami as a city and metro is far more dense than the two Texas cities. Which leads me to believe this:

This does not show density it shows population distribution.

Taller peaks indicate greater population, not higher density

That's more believable as DFW is higher than Houston since it's more populated and both are higher than Miami for the same reason.

If this was density, SF would have a sharper taller peak.
Minneapolis would have been taller than DFW etc.

Although the map says it is density, it is clear that it shows metro totals. Dunno why people would be proud of the density based on chart. All you have to do is look up the relative densities and you can see that DFW would not be the tallest peak in the south. It has the most people in the south, the densest?? nope.

Looks accurate to me Htown when will your inferiority complex to DFW ever leave you, being #2 in TX is still something to be proud of

don't be daft, I never said it was inaccurate. I said it does not show density. If you think it does then go on having a conversation with yourself because I am not going to indulge your stupid comments.

Houston is not inferior to Dallas in anything.

Of course the map is accurate.

For 1990.

On the top left of the map:

"This map shows population density. The relative height of each major city reflects its population in 1990. Source U.S. Census Bureau"

It's a cool map, but outdated over 20 years now.

Oh nice catch. I did not see that.

Is there anything similiar to this map somewhere from 2010 or even 2000? It's very interesting but outdated.

I heard New Jersey had a huge population density, and this map sure confirms it. Nice map!
