The Census Bureau released block-level data for the 2020 count, so Nathan Yau put together this oldie-but-goodie view of population. Each dot represents a person — 331,449,281 of them — and is randomly placed within their block. So you get a highly granular map of population density.

Prints are available for a limited time in the FlowingData Shop. Get the national map or individual states.
