Coming Soon: More About the United Regions of America

The United Regions of America Map, by Jeremy Posadas

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting more about the United Regions of America map, including

• an overview of each region and major decisions about its component areas;
• an innovative urban/rural classification of counties, based on a newer way of calculating population density;
• some basic demographic analysis of each region, drawing on the American Community Survey’s 5-year estimates for 2012-2016;
• a summary of the 2016 election as it played out across these regions; and
• the principles for assigning counties on this map.
