An interactive World map shows “who are the most famous people in a region using a public figures database.”
Topi Tjukanov, geographer and senior map designer at Mapbox, brought together information involving influential people from different fields such as culture, science, leadership and sports. For a person to be considered notable, their contributions to society can vary, so the researchers identified key people using measures to consider this issue.
Each name shown on the map was determined using a baseline of information from Wikipedia and Wikidata for use in a recent study published in the journal Nature, which attempts to calculate a person’s notability based on a number of rules.
When you click on any name on the map, you can see the relevant person’s information and popularity score. You can access the interactive celebrity map by clicking here.
