A map showing median household income of New Jersey, but this time by population (the previous one was census tract).

Higher spikes indicate greater population, colours indicate median income.

Via @pierre_markuse: Look at this super-interesting and well-written fifth part of the Gentle Introduction to #GDAL series by @rsimmon, this time dealing with shaded relief. #remotesensing #gis #dataviz #cartography #remotesensing https://medium.com/@robsimmon/a-gentle-introduction-to-gdal-part-5-shaded-relief-ec29601db654

Catching up on last week's #TidyTuesday, and keeping it simple with some line charts! This plot uses two of my favourite #ggplot2 extension packages:

🗺️ {geofacet} for visualising data across different geographic regions

📈 {gghighlight} for highlighting a subset of values in a chart, here showing each state in relation to others

@pbump from the Washington Post goes there and redesigns a chart from the New York Times. Here’s the before and after.

Do you agree it’s better?

Just finished reading this wonderful article by Federica Fragapane.

I first discovered her work at a Data Viz conference in Paris, and have been inspired by it ever since.

Much thanks to @Herover, for posting a link to it!

This D3.js data visualization I’m working on started as a page on my (Next.js) blog, but I think it’ll be better long-term to have it in its own repo.

After some planning for what I’ll need, I think The Pudding’s Svelte Starter Repo is the way to go. Coming from a group whose primary focus is D3.js data Viz, this looks far better than anything I could come up with.

Anyone have any recommended resources for learning Svelte?

What is especially interesting, though, is that most of those corporate donations come from private (as opposed to public) limited companies. The shareholders can't vote these donations down.

As expected, the Conservatives get the lion's share of company and individual donations. No surprises there.

Following up on my investigations into visualizing political donations, I discovered this downloadable database:
https://www.ukpol.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/results-2.csv
As it gives the donor name, but only the name of the recipient organization, it complements the Register of Member's Interests.
It is fascinating to see how much money people feel they can give to parties that represent them

Really enjoyed delivering today's training session, in preparation for which I came across the quote I'd been looking for! 👇

For a while, I've been conscious that creating #accessibility-conscious #dataviz colour palettes is really tricky. Here's one I've been working on...
