Single Men vs. Single Women

This is a map produced by Richard Florida showing the amounts of single men and women.  The blue circles indicate that there are more single men while the red circles indicate more single women.  The larger the circle, the larger the difference single men vs women or vice versa.  This is interesting because there seem to be much more single men on the western half of the country and much more single women on the eastern half of the country.

This the USA National Gas Temperature Map published by GasBuddy.com.  This is a map of the U.S. showing gas price ranges by county.  Each county has a different color that corresponds to a different price range for gas.  This map is very interesting because it shows us that by living in L.A. we are paying some of the highest gas prices in the nation.

USGS Earthquake Map

This is an Earthquake Map of Southern California which was published by the USGS (United States Geological Survey).  The USGS site has a system that keeps live updates of earthquake times, locations and magnitudes. The system maps the earthquakes across the entire U.S..  It is interesting to see how frequently earthquakes occur.  Most earthquakes are too small to be noticed without sensitive equipment, but these maps show that earthquakes occur very often.
