FRC "Population" Maps

I made several maps (with a lot of help from google :D ) that kind of show the population density of FRC teams in the United States and the world. The maps are pictures, they used to be charts but it would take several hours for them to load. :)

Re: FRC "Population" Maps

Very cool. Thanks for putting this together.

I am struck by the difference between Minnesota and Iowa.

Re: FRC "Population" Maps

I'm not sure on the exact number, but approximately 34 of Michigan's teams come from 1 county- Oakland. That's more than 22 states!

Re: FRC "Population" Maps

No problem :)
Yeah when I was making it ,it was really crazy to see the differences between different states. And where the "population density" was really high.

Re: FRC "Population" Maps

You should try to make one that does the states by percentage of schools covered.

That would be really challenging considering the multiple school teams that don't have all the schools in the name (We are an example since we have Jupiter and William T. Dwyer High Schools in our name, but also recruit from 5 other schools) or teams that don't have have schools like the boys and girls clubs

I never said it would be easy, it would put things in perspective though. Small states right now look like they don't have as many teams even though they may have a larger percentage covered.

Yes it probably would take a while but it's a good idead. I'll start trying to make a basic high school percentage map. Because you are right my maps aren't in the best perspective. One of my team mates also brought up a map that showed percentage of teams near major cities for another perspective.

Awesome numbers!

I can't see the map from work but I was at the Minnesota State Fair's FIRST booth for most of Saturday and I spoke to two leaders of a new FRC team in Iowa, they said something about a FRC regional in Iowa next year. I am thinking they were maybe confused between FRC and FTC but it would be awesome if we had an FRC regional in Iowa! Not entirely sure how they would do it with 4 veteran teams, but still.

The original statement was percentage of schools covered not the percentage of teams in relations to schools so yes multiple school teams do matter

Oh, ya I missread the post. You could still do it that way though. On the FIRST website, each school per team is listed as a sponsor.

Re: FRC "Population" Maps

Also kind of cool: Toronto has the 2nd highest concentration of any city. FIRST still USA-centric? No.

City, Teams, Population, Est. Percentage of population on a FIRST team

Check out Liberty, IN. 11 1 team(s) in a town of 2133 people, for an estimated FIRST participation of ~~10%~~ 1% of the population!

Re: FRC "Population" Maps

I don't think Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, or the Bronx count as cities separate from New York City...
