You've seen maps of watersheds, here's a drive shed map. Imagine someone going to see the 2024 total solar eclipse. What's the shortest drive there? What are the odds of making the drive to see the eclipse? I calculated how many people will drive to the eclipse > greatamericaneclipse.com [OC]Submitted by MichaelZeiler t3_11wyjss in dataisbeautiful

Good point, but difficult. There are many imponderables I’ve not taken into account. For example, a big eclipse festival in one area may draw disproportionate number of people. And people in some geographies may be more inclined to drive, say wealth is a factor. You can really go down a rabbit hole, but I kept it simple
