US Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles on the map with radii between 10 and 250 miles which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based on US census tract info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.

NOTE: You may have to zoom out to see all circles, occasionally a AK/HI circle will be included. Also, only population within the US is included in the total, any Canada/Mexico coverage counts as 0 population within the circle.

Canada Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random Canada dissemination area (there are over 55K dissemination areas across Canada, the smallest census tabulation area). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 10K and 5 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all output areas within that circle.

US Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random US census tract (there are over 80K census tracts in the US). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 100 miles to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 100K and 25 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target. Circle population is tallied by totaling all census tracts (small census areas of average 4K population) within that circle.

NOTE - population in Canada and Mexico is NOT counted at all, only US population within the circle.

I’m trying to figure out the correct name for the Barren Island and Plumb Beach neighborhoods in Brooklyn (can’t seem to get those to fill in, any other names for those spots?)

Plumb Beach was spelled Plum Beach – fixing. not sure what the other is called in this quiz, sorry – can’t remember my source either.

Hi again, figured out it’s in there as Floyd Bennett Field (which is the name of the field in the center of the area). I think Barren Island would be a more appropriate listing for that neighborhood, if possible to change.

Actually, on further reading, it looks like Floyd Bennett is the name of the historic district, so that name is appropriate. Can probably be left as is.

Darin, I hope you’re prepared for the ridiculous indignation and squabbling that this quiz is going to cause…
