Hmmmmmm….. I wonder why ?
Could it be that people live in cities ?
Why is this crazy?
Not as surprised by the red area as by the blue. Small cities, towns, cattle ranching and agriculture are able to equal the weight of NYC, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, LA, Miami, Seattle, Boston and most other decently large metropolitan areas.
I feel like listing the headquarters of a tech company as where the economic activity is „happening“ is kind of a misnomer. That’s just the place where their corporate operations are. The economic activity itself is happening on the cloud.
Today, OP found out that people work in cities.
Also, the two economies are wildly different in what they do. The economies outside the cities depend more on getting or producing tangible products while the economies inside cities depend more on the logistics and management of said products.
Crazy that people live in cities
is that st. louis? I didn’t expect that over cities like Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, etc.
I would be interested to know how much of that spending is military. I can identify at least two of the largest military sites in the red
A “few” metro areas? This looks like basically all the metro areas.
It’s not that wild when you consider how many people live in the red areas vs the blue. Also worth considering how the natural resources and especially food produced in the blue areas drive economic activity in the red.
I’d like to see this overlaid with a 50/50 pop split map.
Consolidation (PE rollups) continues to pull value out of communities and concentrate it in cities. No more regional retail chains and HQs. Just the sucking sound of late stage capitalism.
Looks like a population density map, but okay.
Finally…I live in a blue state. Lol
Most of NJ is red
That should be the new electoral map
Is this measuring GDP? GDP only cares about final goods. Production of intermediate goods in the blue that are used in final products produced in orange wouldn’t be reflected.
Is there a country where this wouldn’t apply? Seems like common sense.
And they are all blue AF.
Is it just me or is the Pittsburgh area weirdly huge? Bigger than DFW and roughly the same size as Chicago
I’d assume this more or less tracks with population as well.
Every country ever!
Crazy how they’re all Democratic heavy areas.
