Kind of a follow-on to my population mountains post, here's another interesting perspective using computer representations of demographic data.

Prisons and schools are pretty easy to spot using demographic data. When I used to review the quality of this data, I'd have a mapping tool open on one screen that would flag prison/college geographies so when I spotted these spikes they were easy to explain.

One of the more interesting oddities I found was a small community in the southern United States that suddenly had a huge influx of American Samoans. I was swearing up and down it was a data error, when I discovered a refugee relocation program for American Samoans displaced by global warming.

Fucking love this shit.

You... do realize that the US Census only happens once every 10 years, right? It's not like they could use the 2020 data for this.

I haven't used SR, but they're supposed to be evidence-based rather than faith-based (and mostly Bruce-free).
