Karte der Bevölkerungsverteilung (NICHT der Dichte!!) in den meisten Teilen Europas im Jahr 2021, auf einem quadratischen Raster mit 1 Pixel, das 1 Quadratkilometer darstellt. Schwarz bedeutet bewohnt, Weiß bedeutet leer.

So most of Spain isn’t inhabited. Funny
Crazy how Spain with roughly 50 million people looks almost as sparsely populated as Norway with 5 million.
So, you are basically never alone in France
Iceland?
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.
Wow, I had no idea Spain was mostly empty.
That’s just a population density chart with two buckets:
– White: 0 people per km2
– Black: more than 0 people per km2
/s
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.
Ok, so they took this map : [https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/NIJo3h2d9g](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/NIJo3h2d9g)
And changed the original scale to an absurd one:
Red -> light grey
Orange -> medium grey
Yellow -> fully black
White -> fully white
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.
gorgeous map
Indeed, Spain people live in flats.
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 guess the far East has nobody there?
Can share the source please?
I would think that except for lakes, large forests and mountains almost every SQ km has at least one person living in it.
Can someone explain the bordeaux region please?
Ireland’s rural population doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
What does the gradient like colour mean in large cities like London and Paris? I mean they must be completely blacked out in the center right?
Europe seems pretty uninhabited this way. Then again, Ican only imagine US, it’s crazy how sparsely populated it is.
I see the Athena Suburban Rail map. Like… it’s so visible. It’s such a shame that it’s underutilized due to rail works in the center of Athens. The traffic is INSANE!
I need to move to Spain. I hate neighbours.
Ireland, if we have it, we’re gona use it.
Basically an elevation map. Lowlands are inhabited, Highlands are not inhabited
Spain cities are the most densely populated in Europe
What’s the difference between density and distribution here?
Northern Scotland real estate must be a steal.
This is not Europe.
Nice artwork👍. The border between south of France and north of Spain is rather weird in this respect . Lots on one side are nearly empty on the other…
