Want to get a good - and simple - idea as to how population changes have affected the various parts of Virginia over the last fifty years? The Virginia Public Access Project (referenced by the Roanoke Times) has this wonderful interactive map that clearly shows the trends - both the migration out of Southwest Virginia and the growth in the D.C. suburbs brought on by the ever-expanding government colossus there - as they played out over time.
Just click on a date at the bottom and watch the size of each region change.
Though not heartwarming, it's still nicely done.
