Big in…Minneapolis?
Take a look at this interesting interactive map from the New York Times this week passed along by a friend.
It’s a distribution map showing Netflix rental titles in relation to geographic location. Particularly interesting are some of the strong correlations between movies and particular cities or demographics (ie: big rentals in Minneapolis are New in Town, Role Models, and Mad Men – based around a MN factory, starring MN native Sean William Scott, and revolving around advertising respectively. We should also note Mad Men is also big in San Francisco & New York…).
Surprising? Not so much, but neat to see mapped out visually. Users can also break down segments further into independent zip codes.
Check out some of the other parallels for yourself…
