Give or take, about 500-550k live inside Loop 610. About 1.5-1.6M live between the loop and Sam Houston Tollway. About 2.5-2.6M live outside the tollway in Harris Co. Other 2.8M live outside Harris. As I’ve noted in the past, inner residents live in an Arby’s desert.

Lesson of this study: Bicyclists are an indicator species for general street safety (among drivers, pedestrians, etc). If you see lots of people cycling, city streets are probably safe. If not, you've got a problem. doi.org/10.1016/j.jcmr…

I mean, I’m down to think about it, but there are like 30 million people in this country with Irish ancestry. There are currently like 5.7 million Irish. It’s gonna get real crowded.
