Kin, by kind of page
Every one of the 1188 links between pages, by the kind of page at each end. The row points at the column.
The distance map is computed on a grid clipped to the states' own outlines (Natural Earth, public domain) and measured against every place on the map, most of which come from OpenStreetMap under the ODbL. Everything else is counted straight out of the records.
