This map would be better if it was based on visits divided by population. Currently it shows America as much darker than Britain even though Britain has about the same per capita LW readership… (and a considerably higher readership per landmass).
(Of course, getting the population for each country would be a right pain, so I don’t blame you.)
Great stat visualization and breakdown! But it’s not in first normal form: There’s two Bellevues, and the St. Petersburg entry doesn’t specify whether it’s Florida (which has a blob in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area, and no entry for Tampa) or Russia (which seems to be the origin of a few prominent LW’ers). I’m not sure of the most efficient way to resolve the ambiguities.

This map would be best of all if it were an LW cartogram!
Is there an updated version of this? I don’t have the know-how to do it myself.
The colour coding should be based on visits per unit area or per unit population, not total visit...

(The St. Petersburg entry in the “US visitors by city” pdf is the one in the US).
