Summary
[edit]DescriptionPopulation Scaled US Map.svg |
English: This request originated from the Illustration workshop, and was solved mathematically using the data at the linked article. By definition, the population density is the population divided by area, or:
We want to resize each state according to its population, so each state's new area will be defined by a new (constant) population density, We can substitute for This means the new area I took the new population density to be equal to the 2013 population density of New Jersey, 1,210.1 persons per square mile, which in essence normalizes the scaling factor to New Jersey. For instance, California has a 2013 population density of 246.1 persons per square mile, so: |

Removed outlines because they're ugly and got scaled proportional to population density, which isn't the most useful value. |
