#QGIS folks: any tips for creating balanced zones/territories?
I’m after an algorithm or plugin that can partition areas into regions of roughly equal size and equal potential (population, sales, etc.) based on underlying layers.

Pointers, docs, or workflows welcome!

NOAA/NGS and CGS are "finishing" (after many delays) the "Modernization of the National Spatial Reference System". That includes new systems like NATRF2022 and NAPGD2022.

Using the data they publish as "alpha" I did an auxiliary database for PROJ in https://github.com/jjimenezshaw/NSRS-2022-PROJ (but not inside PROJ project ;)

It is for testing purposes only. Enjoy it.
