Possibly interesting maps...

Having mentioned in another thread the other day about NUTS 2 areas in Wales and how West Wales was the 'poorest area in Northern Europe' - but the map itself didn't necessarily reflect the population distibution, this map caught my eye.

Most people in Wales live in Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys, which were industrialised in the 18th century. The west and middle of the country is very sparsely populated.

This visualization shows the relative size of local authority populations in Wales by distorting the map so that each authority has an area that reflects the size of its population.
