For scaling they just took the lowest participation to largest. Straight off the data with no adjusting for readability. And they divided it into seven brackets. Why seven? Whyyyyy??? It is like someone just took some data and ran it through their visualizer just to get something to their editor.
If Bogota is a mixed area, surely that’s because of people from its northern regions like Cundinamarca and Boyacá coming into the city, because being there you don’t hear distinction very often at all.
Is that Mendoza in the Andes between Argentina and Chile? Super interesting how they’re a small pocket of distinction just there.
Can anybody shed some light into what repellers, walls and attractors are? Of course I understand repellers probably repel stuff, and attractors attract it. But like… what’s their deal?
Cool map. It’s interesting how Korea looks much more sparse but its population density is actually much higher. I also never realized how much more farm land there is. You take a train down south and it’s sesame farms for miles, with rolling green hills in the backdrop.
