35 Fun Maps That Provide Interesting Facts And Statistical Data
Interview With Expert
A map can take you on a journey, transporting you across continents and cultures all with a single glance.
What started as a simple map drawing on a clay tablet centuries ago in Babylon has slowly evolved alongside us. For the longest time, maps were purely used for navigation — even when we moved them online through GPS.
But today, they do so much more. Modern maps are helping us navigate human behavior, global trends and everyday habits that shape our lives.
For example, did you know how many racoons have taken over Germany? Or how many people lock their doors across America?
Some cartographers are blending art, math, and technology to uncover these very patterns in raw data, and then sharing their findings online.
Many of these maps have been shared on Reddit, where a growing community with around 1.8 million weekly visitors posts and discusses thousands of maps every day. From there, we have narrowed down a list of some of the most interesting ones worth a closer look.

We had the chance to speak with Danny Dorling, a renowned geographer and cartographer, about his work and his passion for maps.
He believes cartography is a way to see the world differently. “It’s about seeing the world. And choosing how to depict it - and other people!”
A professor of Geography at the University of Oxford, Dorling says maps are a way to make sense of complex information visually. “I was very bad at reading as a child and even worse at writing. I liked maths, pictures and graphs - hence maps,” he says on the importance of maps to him.

Share Of People In Europe That Want The Rich To Get Taxed More

Before every pub quiz, the first thing I do is go online and hunt for maps — maps of countries and cities, but also maps highlighting lesser-known global trends and data that I would never have found interesting if it was presented as a part of a graph or a table. It also helps me remember the data long after I’ve shut off my screen.

Countries Where Majority Of Population Is Born In 21st Century As Of February 2025 Based On Median Age
Forrest Hobbs 3 days ago
Austzn: I'm curious. What about Africa's geography is a problem? Yes, it's a big continent, but aside from the large chunk of very arid land, the geography seems pretty conducive to everything humans need. I mean, there's a reason humanity evolved on that continent. Asia's has a lot more problematic geography if you ask me - central Asia in particular is huge place, with so many parts of it both arid and a long way away from most other places. Africa’s surrounded by ocean which gives cheap and easy access to Europe, the Americas, southern Asia, and Aus (NZ too). South Africa's got an Antarctic base - makes more sense than us Brits having bases there, if you look at the globe.

One reason the population in many African countries is young is because their populations are expanding rapidly. Another reason is - yeah, too much disease, warfare, and poverty preventing people living to a ripe old age. But if you dig down into the data, you’ll see that things are getting a lot better very quickly in a lot of Africa.

It will change back once the disease that is Trumpster is eradicated from the earth.
Dorling explains that creating a map that tells the full story is not always easy. One of the biggest challenges is convincing people why it is necessary to transform the data in the first place. “Then explaining to them how it works,” he adds.
He compares the challenges of making maps to that of making graphs.
“A cartogram transformation, usually to population, is just as dramatic a change to the underlying projection. It usually completely alters what is needed despite the data being identical.”
What it means is that even though the actual data does not change, the way you present it can change how people understand the exact same thing. The same numbers, but a different perspective.

So it looks like this is mostly right. I looked at the numbers from Statista and Eurostat, and they mostly agree. There are of course multiple projections based on different levels of migration. With net migration remaining the same, and net births remaining the same the German population will drop by an estimated 7-13 million. For the German population to stabilize, there will either need to be an increase in the birth rate, or an increase in migration.

The classic world map that most of us grew up with — the Mercator projection — recently started trending online as people realised that it severely misrepresents the size and shape of continents. For example, Greenland looks the same size as Africa, even though Africa is actually about 14 times larger in reality.
Once the discussion started, a revised world map made by a college student quickly went viral on Reddit, and was shared by several news websites. It gave everyone a fresh perspective, highlighting where people actually live instead of just how much land each country takes up.
In an interview with Business Insider, the student said: “I just have a passion for maps and thought I could help educate people with this one. I think viewing the world in this way is helpful in geo-politics because it's a true representation of the part of the world that's most interesting to us: the people on it!”

Experts believe that cartographers have always used storytelling when designing maps. Many ancient maps were aligned with traditions or cultural narratives, which is why they worked — they helped people make sense of the world in a way numbers alone could not.
But in today’s world of endless scrolling and short attention spans, what kinds of maps actually grab our attention?
Research says that the way a map is designed including the colors, the size of things, even how it is presented can actually make us feel something. Maps carry all kinds of emotions — they show how we experience and connect with places.
Simple yet colorful maps can make people pause for a moment, and try to understand the stories behind the data. It may even make them do a further deep dive into an interesting topic, making maps more memorable and engaging.

Why specify "live births"? Seems the word "live" is superfluous.

It's how the statistics are recorded, which are collected through birth certificates. Not everywhere keeps easily comparable records for pregnancies that don't result in a living baby.

Not all countries use the popular vote to choose the chief executive. The Prime Minister of the UK is determined by which party has a majority in the House of Commons. Because election is by district, it is possible for a party to hold a majority (probably narrow) in the House while receiving a minority (probably narrow as well) of the popular vote. This is true in most parliamentary democracies.
