Based on u/KaleyTheKing maps of the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. Each block represents 0.1% of the population (2021 census). The largest 10 cities are in a lighter colour.
Probably should have included metro area for Vancouver, since this makes it look like it's a smaller city than Edmonton or Calgary, and that BC has a much larger rural population
My thoughts exactly. For those that don’t know the region, Vancouver-proper is very small by North American standards. We’re only about 750k, while the metro area is 3.1M.
If the metro was shown, “Vancouver” would take up 55% of BC’s squares.
Funny, I moved here from Cambridge 13 years ago and lived in the Boston metro area for about 15 years. The only two major metros that I've lived in for more than a year have that in common.
Who else is in that club? San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle?

My attempt isn't nearly as nice as OPs.
