The distribution of orbits, and hence strikes, is an interesting problem. Here is a plot of population against latitude: https://www.themarysue.com/world-population-latitude-longitude/ https://www.themarysue.com/world-population-latitude-longitu... I assume a bias to the ecliptic, hence the area within the tropics is more likely to get hit. Big spikes for Jakarta, Dhaka, Shanghai/PRD, Delhi/Mumbai/Karachi/Lahore, Kinshasa, Lagos ... I also suppose you could attack the problem in two ways: historical strikes (confounded by erosion, tectonics and subduction), and orbital statistics, perhaps weighted by asteroid size. Anyone have refs for this?
