Relative Twitter density in the Netherlands

Credits: Michiel Berger (@michielb), Anne Helmond (@silvertje), Marvin de Reuver (@marvindereuver), Esther Weltevrede (@esthr)

This the second map of the Dutch Twitter population according to the Twittergids data. In the first part I visualized the top 25 Twitter cities in the Netherlands. In this follow-up image Esther Weltevrede and I looked into the relative number of Twitter users per 1000 inhabitants for each province. Color density is relative to the highest penetration (province of North Holland).

What is striking is that the province of Groningen has a relatively high number of Twitter users per 1000 inhabitants.

Hi-resolution images available here.

   Misschien is het in Groningen zo groot omdat er ook veel studenten wonen? Al sprong Groningen er niet heel erg uit op de vorige kaart..

   De Twitterdichtheid in Groningen wordt inderdaad bepaald door de stad Groningen zelf, zoals te zien is op de nieuwe kaart. Inderdaad zeer waarschijnlijk door het grote aantal studenten in Groningen.
