The map shows striking regional differences in the percentage of change in the population of counties in the United States between 2000 and 2010. In the Northeast and Midwest, most counties either had small gains of between 0 and 4.9 percent or lost between 0 and –5 percent. In a few counties in upstate New York, western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and parts of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, losses exceeded 5 percent. Western Ohio, northern Indiana, much of Illinois, and eastern Iowa experienced modest declines of between 0 and –5 percent. At the same time, population increased by 5 to 14.9 percent in southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, and parts of Indiana and Ohio. In the South, many areas showed strong growth—from 5 to 14.9 percent and higher—including Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Counties lost population (between 0 and –5 percent, with significant numbers of counties less than –5 percent) in West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and northern Louisiana. From the Northern Plains to Texas, a vast area of rural counties lost significant numbers of residents—declines of more than –5 percent in many counties. This population loss is most evident in eastern Montana, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, western Iowa, Kansas, southeastern Wyoming, Colorado, and West Texas. In contrast, counties in the Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, and Southwest often experienced strong growth—from 5 to 14.9 percent and higher—as exemplified by western Montana, southern Idaho, most of Wyoming and Colorado, parts of New Mexico, much of Nevada, and virtually all of Utah and Arizona. The Pacific coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California also grew, except for eastern Oregon, which saw declines from 0 to –5 percent and less. Hawaii’s population grew by more than 14.9 percent. In Alaska, the counties around Anchorage and Fairbanks also made strong gains, whereas other counties declined or grew slightly.

The 2004 presidential election in the United States pitted Republican incumbent President George W. Bush against Democrat John Kerry. This layer portrays the popular vote results at the county and county-equivalent level. The map portrays the winner of the popular vote while data probing, placing the mouse over a county, displays the percentage of the vote for each candidate and the total number of votes cast. In the 2004 election, Mr. Bush won the majority of counties and county equivalents. Mr. Kerry won the popular vote in the most of the major urban centers with the exception of Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Salt Lake City, and Cincinnati, which were won by Mr. Bush. Mr. Kerry also won in along the Pacific coast in California, Oregon and Washington, northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, southern Colorado, along the southern half of the Mississippi River, extreme southern Texas, northern Minnesota, eastern Iowa, southwestern Wisconsin central Alabama, central South Carolina, and the majority of counties in New Jersey and the New England states. Mr. Bush won the Alaskan municipalities while Mr. Kerry won the counties of Hawaii.

A map highlights the major groundwater basins, Complex Hydrogeological Structures, and Local and Shallow Aquifers.

Global distribution of aquifers, which are underground layers of water-bearing permeable rock

Aquifers: Distribution and Recharge

In North America, major groundwater basins are located in the western Great Plains and the southeastern United States, including Florida, with smaller basins found in western Canada, the western United States, northern Mexico, and Central America. South America's major aquifers are in the Amazon basin, along the eastern side of the northern Andes, and in eastern and southern Brazil as well as north-central Argentina. In Europe, significant aquifers stretch from France eastward to Russia, north of the Alps but south of Scandinavia, and are not found near the Mediterranean coast.In North Africa, major groundwater basins run from west to east, south of the Atlas Mountains, along the Mediterranean coast from Tunisia to Egypt, and along Egypt’s lower Nile River Valley. In Sub-Saharan Africa, these basins extend from west to east through the Sahel. Central Africa's primary groundwater basins are in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, and Zambia, with smaller basins scattered throughout southern Africa and near the Indian Ocean coast from southern Tanzania to Somalia. In Southwest and Central Asia, the basins are smaller and scattered, spanning the Arabian Peninsula and Iran, and decreasing in size farther north into Central Asia.Siberia in Russia contains large groundwater basins, while the vast interior of Asia, including the deserts of western China, Mongolia, and the Tibetan plateau, has few small, scattered basins. South Asia features major basins in Pakistan and northern India, along the southern Himalayas, and in the river deltas of Bangladesh. In Southeast Asia, aquifers are scattered across the mainland and larger islands like Sumatra, Borneo, and New Guinea. East Asia's major basins are in northeastern China, with a few smaller ones on the Korean Peninsula and in Japan. In Oceania, Australia has a significant groundwater basin beneath much of its eastern region, with another on the northwestern side of the continent.
