Tells you nothing. 2 entirely different sources. May use different criteria, and in any event there is NO KEY for the second map, so you can't tell what the colors mean beyond a general recognition of higher or lower density.
ReplyDeleteThat means that a comparison between the maps is entirely pointless beyond the fact that it appears that populations are still in relatively the same areas they were in 1994. So um...thanks for that?
Thanks for your comment, yes I did think alike before drafting this post.
