Table 2 Basic summary statistics of our constructed regions. We give the number \(n(r)\) of geographic regions, the maximized modularity \(Q_{{\mathrm{max}}}\), the total length d of the internal boundaries, the number \(E_{b}\) of edges between regions, the number \(E_{w}\) of edges within regions, and \(d/E_{b}\)
