Montana’s Indian Education for All, commonly shortened to IEFA, is unusual because it rests on both the state constitution and ordinary legislation.
Article X, Section 1(2) of Montana’s 1972 Constitution states:
How Many US Supreme Court Justices Were Born In Your State?
The map above shows how many US Supreme court justices were born in each US State. The clear winner is New York with 14 followed by Virginia with 10.
Overall, there have been 116 justices since the Court was established in 1789.
But, only 24 states have ever produced a justice, so more than half never have, including the entire Pacific Northwest, Florida, and almost everything between Kansas and California.
The centre of gravity has shifted dramatically: Virginia and Kentucky dominated the first century, New York dominates overall, and no justice born west of Colorado has ever served except the three Californians.
Here is a full list by state:

The map above compares the Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem with the Dutch city of Haarlem which it was named after. Surprisingly the two have very similar populations and median incomes as the table below shows:
Mercator Vs The True Size of Each Country (New Comparison Tool)
While it’s well known that the mercator projection distorts the world, the maps here show very clearly by how much. Countries close to the equator barely change, whereas countries further north shrink dramatically.
The maps are all the work of climate data scientist @neilrkaye.

[Read more…]Europe’s Declining Robbery Rates
The map above shows a rather suprising fact, despite what the media tells you, robbery rates in most European countries (expect Iceland) have dramatically fallen between 2003 and 2024.
From the original map author:
NOTE: for some countries the closest year was take as no data was available for example Germany had data take at 2023 instead of 2024 because it has unavailable the reason is listed below:
If a country does not submit a year’s data, submits data that are not comparable with the UN definition, or the data fail validation, UNODC leaves the entry blank rather than estimating it.
