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’m not sure why Queensbury isn’t accepted for Q in New York. If it’s because it’s technically a town and not a “city” then I don’t understand why places like Hempstead (which is a town and a village) or Freeport (which is a village) are accepted.
villages are accepted towns are not (same reasoning as all my population quizzes for New England towns) so that’s why the other two are accepted for their villages.
