Each polygon contains exactly one Walmart store and represents the area closer to that store than any other.

    This can’t be correct. It looks like all of santa clara county in CA is covered by like three polygons max, but there are at least a half dozen walmarts in SCC, if not more.

    Why are some of the polygons so oblong? Maybe it would be helpful to include dots showing the exact locations of the walmarts

    I love in a bi-city area with 2 regular sized Walmarts and like 10 neighborhood Walmarts no way this map is correct

  4. The Meijer Effect is pretty noticeable in Michigan, but not really elsewhere in the Midwest.

  5. Some of the Channel Islands in California seem to be in more than one Walmart’s polygon, even though only one of them is populated.

  6. I know your data reflects United States, but I wonder what the data would look like if Walmarts were included from Canada.

  7. I don’t think I understand this map, because if I’m interpreting it correctly it’s saying the Channel Islands national park has four Walmarts?
