US Circle Population Guess Challenge

You will be shown 10 different circles of radius 25-200 miles. Using the slider (or manually typing into the box below the slider), guess the population contained within each circle then click SUBMIT for each one. Populations are based on the portion of 80K+ US Census Tracts contained within the circle.

US 20 Circle Population Challenge

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.

I wonder why a building with a Washington state flag was listed as Omaha. Does anyone know where there is a Washington flag in Omaha?

This is great fun! Is anyone else having a problem with it accepting the last right name? Maybe it is accepting it but the image on the screen is not keeping up. Meanwhile, I love it.

I can’t stop playing this! I love that it drops you in a different place in each city each time it shows you the city.

I’m learning that an awful lot of cities have streets named ‘Chestnut.’

I’m amazed by the high scores, I’m a terrible guesser! But this quiz is a ton of fun and I’m enjoying a lot anyway.

I’ve done just one of these and while I’m sure there are some issues to work out – can’t think of them yet – this is a lot of fun. Great job Darin!

I guess the best idea I’ve come up with is like…similar to how you have so many different geography quizzes that can be broken out into different types/versions, it’d be fun to do something like this broken down by state, or by region, etc

Okay, so I may need a version where I can get *a bit* more time ha. Again, tons of fun, but man 2 minutes can seem difficult (at least for me)

This is crazy fun. Great idea. You have to use a lot of different bases of knowledge.

I can’t take total credit…I had fun playing Geoguessr (geoguessr.com) and thought of this as an alternative.

Note to game: When you’re trying to make it hard for us, DON’T DROP SOMEONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING.

Man … I think this is one of those that’s a great idea on paper but just too hard in reality.

Well it’s not exactly a summer vacation but I guess it will have to do. I even got stuck in a fishing boat in New Orleans somehow!

ha…yeah occasionally you may get a street view stuck in a single place, I can’t control that but it should be very rare. you shouldn’t get any indoor locations though.

I did actually get the inside of a building in Washington DC

well, maybe a Google street view issue coding it as outdoor – the code should eliminate indoor ones but that may be a rare fluke.

a quiz similar to GeoGuessr here – let me know your feedback – will do World/Europe/etc versions of this if it is popular.
