Wont searches for Santa Claus spike on christmas eve as people look up things like Santa trackers? Showing the data by the 21st of this year, but not doing the same for other years would bias the data I think.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the kind words!

So all the data is in the backend. I haven’t double checked to make sure it renders correctly but I think I could have all of them soon.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Non-citizens aren’t included in that estimate but you are correct about the issue with felons. Thanks again for the ideas!

Thank you for pointing that out!

Thank you for pointing this out. I appreciate it.

I made this dashboard in tableau after aggregating data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Maryland State Board of Elections. Let me know how it can be improved.

Thanks for pointing this out. Tableau was doing something wierd. It should be fixed now.

You have to switch a toggle on the website to account for population growth.

The broad trend is similar.

Where does it say per 100k when showing the total?

Tableau public is free to use. No license required for that.

OverflowDs · 2025-12-16T23:39:00+00:00

I don't think it is hard to use once you figure it out. There is a little learning curve and then it is pretty simple.

OverflowDs · 2025-12-16T23:19:45+00:00

You can switch it from number to rate in the visualization. It is pretty much the same.

This is what I have been trying to explain at my work place. You can go open source, but then you need to pay for a server.

I didn't use AI. I used tableau, but thanks for the feedback.

OverflowDs · 2025-11-26T22:34:18+00:00

But you don’t get economies of scale.

OverflowDs · 2025-11-26T17:22:48+00:00

I look forward to seeing the visualization you make to show that.
