There should be some in-built bias, such as adding points for just being in the Northern America. Otherwise it's hard to explain how all of the diverse cities of the USA end up being clumped in one place of the scale.

That, or not having sufficient dynamic range.

Why would clustering be odd? Culture, industry and other aspects of city life spread outwards. It makes sense that if there's a given city that's very livable, that areas around it similarly benefit and prosper too. This of course assumes no segregation based policies
