This has been all over the news: How Connected Is Your Community to Everywhere Else in America? by the Upshot at the NYT. That's basically the interactive data viz to the paper by Bailey et al. (2018) Social Connectedness: Measurement, Determinants, and Effects.
The basic results are very interesting, yet not all that surprising.
Figure 2, to me, is most interesting - mapping 20 'communities' across the USA based on their social connectedness on Facebook. I wonder how these intersect with the idea of mega-regions across the USA, for example The New Map for America (Parag Khanna, NYT, 15 April 2016).
