'''Request:'''
This map is very confusing. It claims to show population density, but density is expressed in population/area. This map merely shows the population for the municipalities.
Besides, the map has the traditional layout of a population density map. Whole areas colored in various shades of red/yellow normally do indicate density. A map that only shows population sizes of towns will generally have dots of varying sizes for the towns.
A third problem is the bizarre classification. '15,027 - 42,670' is not a normal class.

You're right, this is not a map of [[population density]]. The odd class ranges might be the result of some "natural breaks" algorithgm, like [[Jenks Natural Breaks Optimization]]... maybe. What should be done? I see it is used on the [[Wasatch Front]] page, although the caption describes it correctly as "A map showing the population of Utah municipalities". Still, the map itself is titled "population density". I suppose someone could edit out the present title and insert something better. Or are there other maps available? I'll check the Commons in a little bit. [[User:Pfly|Pfly]] ([[User talk:Pfly|talk]]) 02:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
:Ah, there's an actual population density map on the [[Utah]] page, [[:File:Carte Utah population.png]]. I'll use that to replace this one on the Wasatch Front page. [[User:Pfly|Pfly]] ([[User talk:Pfly|talk]]) 04:00, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
::I edited the title, but it's probably moot as the image is no longer being used. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 14:27, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
