Flawed article (but not Greg's fault, see Edit).
The dataset he's using is like 10x smaller than the one displayed in AO.
Edit: <@gregsadetsky I have to answer you like this as HN partially censors me by limiting my comments to around 4/day>
Something's weird then (on either end).
Go to Downtown Toronto, I see about 200 places total. On your map I only see about 50.
Actually ... if you scroll down from there, on the southwest side of Lake Ontario, just north of St. Catharines, I see a big cluster of 197 elements, which does not show on your map. I think the map on AO is overcounting markers. You discovered a bug Greg, congrats!
I am using 100% of all points from atlas obscura -- see [0] - the data is baked in the html and [1] my source which lists all 30k+ points
