I'm struggling to think of a use case for this. Hexagonal maps make sense for values where geographical size is irrelevant and you're not controlling for population size. So state-level hexagonal maps make sense for showing the red/blue color of US senators, for example. (Technically each hexagon gets split in half, since there are 2 senators.) And you could do a hexagonal map for Congressional districts as well. Or state-level legislative districts within states. Because each area has equal political power, and so it makes sense they have the same area. But I'm struggling to think of a situation where you'd ever want to do this at a county level. If you want to draw things like population density, then you can shade by people per square mile or similar, within normal geographic boundaries, and there's no distortion. Or any kind of rate per capita, then you just shade the normal geographic boundaries at a per-capita rate. And if you want it to also be population map, you need to resize areas proportionally to population, like this: https://www.vox.com/2015/8/19/9178979/united-states-population https://www.vox.com/2015/8/19/9178979/united-states-populati... But that's the opposite of making things the same size. But I can't think of a single county-level statistic where there's a good reason to make counties all the same size. Can anyone else?
