Visualizing Canada's Population Density

 

I can't seem to get enough of this site called https://www.visualcapitalist.com 

This week they posted the visual density patterns for six different countries, including Canada.  https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/population-density-patterns-countries/ 

Here's the summary that they provided on Canada: 

In Canada, the Rocky Mountains to the west and freezing cold temperatures in the center and north account for the large country’s relative emptiness.

Though population spikes in Western Canada are growing rapidly, highly populous urban centers are noticeably concentrated along the St. Lawrence River, with the Greater Toronto Area accounting for more than one-sixth of the country’s 39 million people.

There wasn't any huge surprises here.  Very few people live in the north compared to along the border and the St. Lawrence river.  

There's some really cool visualizations on the site.  It's well worth your time, if you like this sort of thing.
