Maps
These are maps based on TelluBase in full-resolution SVG. Underlying shapefiles are available on request.
We provide select maps that are of general interest.
Analytical Maps Based on TelluBase Data
We use Canback Projection©, MapShaper and ColorBrewer to make the maps as readable as possible.

A Tale of Two Chinas—The Rich vs Poor Split
The income per capita disparity between urban and rural areas is large in China. We used our TelluBase data to create this map showing the clear divide.
Köppen Climate Zones in China
China as a whole covers many climate zones. Here we show them at the secondary subdivision level (prefecture or equivalent).
Köppen Climate Zones by Country
The map shows the population-weighted climate zones by country. That is, the climate where people live, rather than geographic area climate.
Nigeria Income Per Household By Local Government Areas
Local Government Areas (LGA) are the 800 secondary subdivisions (below states) in Nigeria.
Recession Pressure by Country
What is the probability of a recession in a given country? We abnalyzed data for all (218) countries at the subnational level to find out. The map shows the the results.
TelluBase Definitional Maps
The definitional maps show the details of what TelluBase covers.
TelluBase Global Coverage | 218 Countries | 2600 Cities | 2500 Subdivisions
This map shows the 218 countries, 2600 cities, and 2500 primary subdivisions we cover in Tellubase. Beyond this, we cover 25000 secondary subdivisions 2000-2050.
China Secondary Subdivisions (Prefecture Level) and Cities
The map shows how TelluBase covers 425 cities and 342 secondary subdivisions in China.
Colombia Secondary Subdivisions (Municipios) and Cities
The map shows the 36 cities and 1100 secondary subdivisions in Colombia we cover.
European Union Cities and Subdivisions Covered in TelluBase
Countries typically paint too coarse a picture for the EU. A more suitable way to understand the European economy is to look at cities and NUTS socioeconomic regions.
Mexico Secondary Subdivisions (Municipios) and Cities
The map shows the cities (92 zonas metropolitanas) and secondary subdivisions (1500 municipios) in Mexico we cover.
Nordic-Baltic Eight (Nb8) Subdivisions and Cities
The map shows the 31 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants and the 74 primary subdivisions.
USA City Definitions
States are often too high level for insights in the U.S. Counties are too detailed. The U.S. government therefore developed Metropolitan Statistcial Areas. Our TelluBase database uses MSAs to define and quantify cities down to 100,000 inhabitants.
