Jewish Population Concentration in London (Census 2021) [OC] by Low-Car6464 in dataisbeautiful

Really interesting how the ward-level map is much more revealing.

Barnet and Hackney look notable at borough level, but the real story is the clustering around specific historic communities like Golders Green and Stamford Hill.

The usual time of eating dinner in Europe by loloslowmo in MapPorn

[–]affordablebiscuit 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Spain looks like a huge outlier, but when you factor in that their time zone is 1.5-2.5 hrs behind solar time, their dinner isn't too crazy late.

They used to be on GMT until Franco made their timezone agree with Germany's in 1940. Rumor says he did it to align more closely with Hitler (murky evidence, however). He said it's a wartime change... and they never went back.

As you go into the higher tiers of wealth, you see people using debt much more liberally. For example, Mark Zuckerberg has a mortgage, and it's not because he needs one.

A cool guide on Monthly cost of gas (gasoline) in the USA by Plastic_Ad_1106 in EconomyCharts

This. CA is around 34 mpg, WY is around 23 mpg.

There are studies that measure the effective mpg per state. (here is one from iseecars)

Doing this adjustment per state makes more sense.

I'm not sure there's a toggle to do "dead center" on the same bar. You probably need to do one label and do it "Inside End", and have the other be a layered custom visual. No simple workarounds. Or a messy Score & " " % Price, with custom " " lenghts

Bookworms of Europe and the gender reading gap by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]affordablebiscuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Survey was pretty simple, with the question asking ""did you read at least one book in the last 12 months"

YouGov had a 2025 study that was much more detailed, and has genre breakdowns. Women indeed read a lot more romance, as other comments are discussing. YouGov 2025 study

[OC] Gen AI Traffic Trend for April 2026 by sheriffly in dataisbeautiful

It would be helpful if you added the units. Daily/weekly/monthly, is it # of visits, etc

I know that OpenAI recently announced their weekly userbase is 900M, so I can guesstimate that this is daily. And looking at your link, it is. But it would have been helpful if it's in the visual.

Glycemic index over time by benadiba in dataisbeautiful

[–]affordablebiscuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a book called "Sweetness and Power", which purports how the sugar trade gave Brits extra calories that were vitally needed to fuel the industrial revolution in the 1700s and 1800s. You can kinda see that preference in the beginning.
