I have been asking you guys to tell me your home counties (U.S only) onto fill out a map. Here's how it is so far. Please keep sharing them and if you still don't see yours here, please state it again. I can't get to all of them in time or I skip over yours accidentally. Will repost at 1k comments.
Monroe County, PA is rather unusual. It's quite far from major cities and contains no large population center. Despite this, the county has a sizeable population (168k+) with significant suburban development. Why is this, and are there any similarly populated US counties 'in the middle of nowhere'?
