Ya I thought it was weird, but I'm not a demographer working for the census. I just use what they give me.

I haven't found anything else for cities, etc. I've seen similar things for like mountain ranges though which is where I originally got my inspiration. I really enjoyed pulling this one together to I already planned on making a city version for the US and Europe, state version for the US, and other variations. It's a lot of work though so they're slow coming. Fun visualization when it all comes together though.

I was inspired by some other periodic table-style data visualizations and made one for US metro areas. Enjoy!
Data: Metro area boundaries come from TIGER, population data comes from census.gov, and the regions comes from the National Geographic Society.
Tools used: ArcGIS, Adobe Illustrator
