I kept seeing the memes about "50% of Australians live in the red area", I decided to throw together the data into a website with a slider that lets you change the threshold.
Awesome! One feature request: for both Australia and the U.S., could we filter by states? Like if I want to know what % of Western Australia is in Perth, etc, I’d love to play around with that.

I mean the jump in territory to get from 96% to 100% is still impressive.
Oh this is great! Have you seen this done for other countries where the data is available?
I just pulled together the data to do it for the USA. Map is a tad slow though, since there are ~84k census tracts.

You should post this on /r/InternetIsBeautiful or /r/DataIsBeautiful
Isn’t Australia the most urbanized country by percent of the population?
Doesn't appear so, apparently Australia is #46 globally.

NZ definitely has multiple cities wtf
That’s probably Singapore, Monaco or the Vatican, seeing the land size of those countries are minuscule, everyone in the country lives in the city.
TIL that 100% of Australians live in Australia
