That really depend on what part of the US you're talking about. You have huge deserts, lakes, and mountain ranges. No 'in-between' cities as well.

This is the same, only at a much smaller scale, since it's a small country.

Portugal has a lot of small/medium cities (with hundreds of towns in between) but only a few big ones, so it skews the results on the graph. Making it seem like there are more deserted areas than there actually are.

I don't think you need to go back further... just maybe choose years that don't include drought?
