Histogram Map of Traffic Delays in America

http://www.coolinfographics.com/blog/2010/2/9/city-population-shift-maps.html

A Histogram displays the frequency of an occurrence in an easy to read geovisual graph. This particular histogram depicts the number of hours people spend delayed in traffic in a particular region. The information used to publish this graph was derived from statistics in 2007 and was featured in Time Magazine in November of 2007. This graph was a part of a visual display of the difference in population from day to night in major cities. For instance, the most populous city during the day, NYC, is comparatively empty at night, thus the hours of traffic delays are endured by commuters, or the very people that cause NYC's population to increase during the day.
