Replication Data for: Figure 1.3 Local government complexity, 2010

This Stata script makes a scatterplot of two measures of local government complexity: (a) central-city population as a proportion of metropolitan population, and (b) number of general-purpose local governments per 100,000 residents. Notes: - For visual clarity, only metropolitan areas with a population greater than 300,000 are mapped. - For Canadian CMAs, the number of principal cities is set to 1.
