Two maps and six charts take sprawl rankings to another level.

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

One of the great results of the decennial census is that geographers, demographers, sociologists, urbanists and countless others, can track the same population or spatial pattern and note historical changes over a 10 year span.  This series of maps and charts highlights some of the major changes.  You shouldn’t be surprised that Atlanta is the United States’ most sprawling major city and that San Francisco is the most compact, but this article dives beneath surface in a way that is still very accessible.
