Love these population density spike maps

A population density spike map of France showing highest population as higher peaks across a 3D landscape.
A population density spike map of Germany showing highest population as higher peaks across a 3D landscape.
A population density spike map of Italy showing highest population as higher peaks across a 3D landscape.
A population density spike map of Turkey showing highest population as higher peaks across a 3D landscape.

@infobeautiful I would like to see one of Sweden. Or Scandinavia in total. Probably even more concentrated into very small urban areas than France. 🤔

Heh, that's pretty much as I expected it to be. Stockholm, Gothenburg and the southern tip of the country, the rest is really sparsely populated.
Thanks for posting.
PS: I've marked the spot where I usually go on vacation to.
Yes, there's pretty much nothing there 😂

Population density map of Sweden.
There's a small red circle and an arrow marking a spot a little north of the largest lake in Sweden. The population density shown there is extremely low.

@infobeautiful This map jives with my experience that cities are very prickly places to live.

@infobeautiful comparing USA population density maps with a USA political map should make you extremely angry

@infobeautiful > France
> Monaco
Some tax exiles probably wouldn't be very happy with that :flan_laugh:

@infobeautiful Adding Düsseldorf to the cluster around Cologne is a good joke.

@zaunkoenig @infobeautiful

And it looks like the Hamburg pointer goes to Kiel (but maybe it's just the bad resolution)

@zaunkoenig @infobeautiful labeling the Rhein- Ruhr area as "cluster around Köln" is a good joke, too.

@infobeautiful not a place you want to try to land a zeppelin.

Fantastic. Where do these come from?
Is there a website?

@infobeautiful Germany looks the healthiest of the four.

@infobeautiful Sauron appears to have set up shop in Paris.

@infobeautiful I'd love to see this one cleverly correlated with those gotcha American election maps that show a majority of "land" voted Republican.

Tagging @terence the creator of this and other beautiful maps.

@infobeautiful I can't find the equivalent in 3D but take a look at this comparison.

We currently have a problem...

@infobeautiful Looking for a nice flat spot, not too far from a hill...
