“🐑 EWE VS. US: The Great Kiwi Sheep Showdown!
Day 09 – Rural / Urban | #30DayMapChallenge
Yeah nah, the countryside is still sheep country! 😂
For Day 09, [the H/T] decided to have a little fun with New Zealand's rural–urban divide by looking at something very Kiwi: how many sheep we have per person!
And the results are rather woolly... 🐑😂
🐑 Southland: 29 #sheep per person. At this point, the humans are just tenants.
🐑 Gisborne: 22.3 sheep per person. The sheep have clearly taken over the neighbourhood!
🐑 Manawatū: 16.5 sheep per person. Good luck finding a human in that crowd!
Turns out New Zealand really is sheep country!
[They] created this map… combining regional sheep numbers with population data to calculate the sheep-to-human ratio, then turning the results into a colourful, whimsical poster.
[They] wanted to try something different with the cartography this time. Less traditional GIS map, more children's storybook, complete with fluffy sheep, playful annotations and a few questionable sheep jokes. 😂
It's a lighthearted take on the rural–urban theme, but there's still a bit of spatial analysis behind all that wool!
Spoiler alert: We're getting absolutely fleeced. 🐑👑
