An interactive map of the United States answers a question a static image cannot: not just where a state is, but what it looks like on the measure you care about. The eight maps below each colour, plot or rank all 50 states on a different dimension — roads, people, weather, parks, clocks and electoral votes. Start with whichever question brought you here.

How to use an interactive map here
The map pages share the same controls. Drag to pan and scroll or pinch to zoom. Clicking a state opens its detail — a popup on the thematic maps, or a full state page from the states directory. Colour scales are explained in the legend on each map, and every map is backed by a sortable table further down the page, so the same data is available if you would rather read than click.
