Statistical Review

I recently decided to take a look at the SiteMeter stats and see what I could find that was interesting. One thing popped up, and I don't have any explanation, but here goes:

Forty-five percent of TCP visitors are on the East Coast of the United States. Twenty-five percent are in the Central time zone. About twelve percent are in the Mountain time zone. Ten percent are in the Pacific time zone. The remainder come from Western Europe, with a concentration in the Scandinavian countries. I've seen *.fi in the data for a while, and I'm really kind of curious as to what's bringing them here. Not that I'm complaining.

I suppose that I'd kind of like to know what attracts so much traffic from the Atlantic coast, and why (if there's any coherent reason) that there's a drop-off that's almost by half with each continuing step as you head west. Interesting.

To all the visitors, be you from NBC, Disney, the DOD, the Federal courts, or anywhere, thanks for coming!

1 ummm... Isn't that about the population distribution of the country?

2 Is it? I know that the East Coast in general and the Northeast in particular was the most heavily populated back in the 1940s and 1950s, 'cause the Pennsylvania Railroad served half the country's population without ever going beyond Chicago or south of Washington, D.C. (more or less). Still, that's as good a theory as any, I suppose.
