Reply to comment by Kvothealar in [OC] Map of Hospital Accessibility by Car in Virginia by wcedmisten

Thank you!

I actually calculated this, but haven't had a chance to add it to the visualization yet.

Here are the numbers:

10 mins: 5,596,838 (65.3%)
20 mins: 7,635,539 (88.7%)
30 mins: 8,296,515 (96.1%)
40 mins: 8,552,706 (99.0%)
This was estimated using the EU's Global Population Density Estimate dataset GHS POP .

Not quite sure the best way to visualize this data. Add it to the legend?

Perhaps not surprisingly, the hospitals are centered around dense urban areas, and so even though the 10 minute boundary doesn't cover most of the state's area, it does cover most of the population.

That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing it :)

To visualize, I would maybe make a GIF which slides between the current graphic and a population density map?
