star2city Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Kind of thought this was interesting. This map is being developed by http://www.commoncensus.org and it definitely needs more votes from North Dakota and NW Minnesota to better define the boundaries. Currently, Fargo is shown as part of the Twin Cities sphere of influence, while Grand Forks is within Fargo's. Interesting that a big swath of Central North Dakota considers Washington D.C. to be the most influential on their daily lives. If you look on the website at earlier snapshot maps at 6000, 12000, and 24,000 votes, low population areas like North Dakota and Montana have changed remarkably as the sample base gets larger.

star2city Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 The commoncensus site also maps out sports teams allegiances. Since I'm a map geek, find rather interesting. Unfortunately, they don't show DII or DIAA teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman91 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Cool stuff. I love census-type maps. I lied and said I still lived in GF so we can change that map a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
