Hm, I would also be interested in how cities look if your measure is "highest lookup rate relative to national average".

That is, sure, Dwayne Johnson is looked up a lot in some city, but who is looked up most compared to everywhere else?

It's not "people from here look up this person a lot", it's "who is the most-looked-up person that's linked to here <somehow>", where <somehow> is whatever dataset they're using to connect people to places (it's not birthplace; it might be lived-here-at-some-point? or "has the place mentioned in their Wikipedia page", or some composite). The location of the searcher is irrelevant.
