Interesting, cut up representation of 50 largest metro areas, Portland Maine makes the cut
Posted: 04.12.2009
The fifty largest metro areas (in blue), disaggregated from their states (in orange). Each has been scaled and sorted according to population. The metro areas are US-Census defined CBSAs and MSAs.
It took me a moment to grok it, for instance, there are no labels but if you hold your cursor over an image you get the image’s title in a tooltip (annoying wait!). Otherwise this is a very interesting way to parse the basic data of the largest metropolitan areas. Portland, ME, my home town is on the list and not even last!
