Thanks for the info. I understand and accept that the location is not accurate to the map, but what was so confusing was that the locations didn't seem to be accurate even with respect to other locations, and that the location wasn't deterministic. That doesn't happen on the nytimes example. If I toggle back and forth between sorting by population and sorting by Rent Price, the bubbles bounce around and end up in... some random arrangement. Sometimes it's reasonable, and sometimes it's bizarre. Here's a particularly egregious example http://i.imgur.com/ZPAno.png http://i.imgur.com/ZPAno.png Los Angeles is SouthEast of San Diego, Oakland is West of San Francisco and San Jose is Northwest of both of them. It's hard for me to avoid being pulled out by that.
