GeographyRegions & CountriesAges 16–17

A self-drawn map of the United States built from latitude/longitude coordinates, divided into the four census regions — Northeast, Midwest, South and West — with inset panels for Alaska and Hawaii. Click a region to see its area, average rainfall, population for 2000, 2010 and 2020, and its share of national GDP; switch data layers to see how the physical landscape changes from west to east, how population has shifted toward the Sun Belt in the south and west, and where the leading farming, manufacturing and high-tech regions are.
