Some time ago a squad of mathaholics at Northwestern's Research on Complex Systems group used data from www.wheresgeorge.com to map a delineation of national communities, using the physical movement of dollar bills from county to county to feed a "stochastic Monte Carlo" (semi-random process with different results every time, run over and over again) algorithm that categorizes U.S. Counties into "effective communities." When run a thousand times, predominant lines begin to emerge, indicating boundaries of fluctuating strength. What a great way to crowd source out pragmatic economic zones.
