US Most Common Place Names

Directions

Name all US place names shared by at least 5 cities/towns/etc (the types of places used for my population quizzes..incl villages, townships, etc). The goal is to get the most places, not the most names. Place names are sorted by # of places, then by the population of the largest place with that name, with the state and population shown for that place.

Enter guesses above to begin.

The object of this quiz is to place 20 circles of radius 100 miles on the map so that they contain the largest total population.

When you begin you'll be given a 100-mile radius circle centered on the map. Move it using the mouse and click SUBMIT. You will be given a score for that circle corresponding to the total population among all US census tracts within it (there are about 85K total US census tracts averaging about 4K people each). Try to complete all 20 circles with the highest total score.

Any INTERSECTING areas are only counted one time, so no census tract will be counted more than once.
