Juxtastat (Urban Stats)
Pick which of two places has the higher figure for a statistic, in a daily quiz that gets harder as it goes.
Every day: One set of comparison questions a day, the same for everyone, each asking which of two places has more of something. New puzzle: Once a day.
Juxtastat is the daily geography quiz from Urban Stats, a site of statistics about cities and regions. Each question names two places, such as two Canadian regional districts, and a measure like the share of adults with a business degree, and you pick which place is higher. The questions get harder as you go.
About Juxtastat (Urban Stats)
Juxtastat is a quick daily quiz built on the data behind Urban Stats, a site that compares cities, counties, districts and other regions on demographics, housing, transport, weather and more. It is made by Kavi Gupta and Luke Brody.
Each question shows two places and one statistic, for example the percentage of people aged 25 to 64 with a business degree, and asks which place has the higher value. You tap the place you think wins. The places can come from different countries and levels, from small districts to large metropolitan areas.
The day's questions are the same for everyone and become harder as you go, so the last ones usually compare places that are close. Your history is stored with a user id, and you can sign in with Google to sync it across devices.
It suits people who enjoy maps and numbers and want a short daily test of their sense of how places differ.

Tips
- Think about what kind of place each one is: urban or rural, young or old, rich or poor.
- Watch whether the statistic is a percentage or a total, since size matters only for totals.
- Later questions are close calls, so use local knowledge about the specific places.
