A truly frightening map
This has to be one of the most frightening maps you are likely to see. Pete Giencke is a data engineer at Google and he has put together this must-see map of the Gulf Coast oil spill.
Handy comparison of the 2,500 square mile spill is available in the map interface.
BTW, 2,500 square miles is half of Connecticut!
Map: Where Americans Are Living Well - Forbes.com
This map tracks population, education, business and lifestyle factors across the country, using colors to indicate the magnitude and concentration of each factor. As a "heat map," the brighter red the color, the better the region's score. To select categories, use the pull down menu above Montana and North Dakota. The data key refreshes for each category and appears south of Mexico. Data provided by ZoomProspector.com, a San Francisco-based consulting firm specializing in corporate relocation. It evaluated areas of the country with fewer than 100,000 people. Due to differing regional definitions, we used the label "town" for any city, township, borough or Census-designated place with such populations.
Fascinating interactive map
