    Mappa della distribuzione della popolazione (NON densità!!) nella maggior parte dell’Europa nel 2021, su una griglia quadrata con 1 pixel che rappresenta 1 chilometro quadrato. Nero significa abitato, bianco significa vuoto.

      Crazy how Spain with roughly 50 million people looks almost as sparsely populated as Norway with 5 million.

      Also pictured: the urban geography reason as to why Portugal historically pulled above its weight in the Iberian Peninsula, and was for all intents and purposes the dominant kingdom until the Union of Castile and Aragon, and why it remained independent.

      Also pictured: why the Low Countries were and are tremendously OP relative to its size.

      That’s just a population density chart with two buckets:
      – White: 0 people per km2
      – Black: more than 0 people per km2

      I wonder if there’s any data quality challenges in Spain. I.e. people living in some of the white spots here, but they are counted as living in the town where that land corresponds to.

      For example, very small towns in Spain don’t have a mayor, and are counted as villages of nearby larger towns. Maybe they aren’t counted? It would be easy to check if you superimpose this map on a normal map and zoom in on small villages.

      I know Spain is very empty, but c’mon. Madrid is nonsense, it must be way darker than this

      This map is absolutely worthless! Either there are massive mistakes or it’s extremely misleading.

      How is ‘empty’ defined? 0 person living within a square km ? If you zoom you can see that high density areas (cities) are not black, but greyish. So the scale is undefined but seems to be: white->black->greyish.

      For reference, France and Poland have half the density of Germany or the UK, and are not much denser than Spain. Ireland’s density is 3 times lower than the UK.

      I don’t believe one second the transition between Spain and France can be so brutal, data must be counted very differently between the two countries.

      For some reason I feel like I can see the border of the former German Empire

      The French map makes no sense. The empty areas are shown as heavily populated.

      crazy how clearly we can see mountainous area, I love those kind of maps 🤩

      people surprised by Spain when inland is 45ºC in the summer “WOW I didnt know Spaiun was so empty!” There is a reason.

      Do you have this as a georeferenced file (json, shp, etc.) or the source data? Just curious for some research I’m doing.

      So it’s like density, but with 1 bit color resolution.

      I would think that except for lakes, large forests and mountains almost every SQ km has at least one person living in it.

      Ireland’s rural population doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
