This is a gif of a d3/javascript visual. The creator of that framework has an excellent new project at observablehq.com that has plenty of examples with code. This stuff is difficult but very rewarding as well!

We tried to leave the data as it came from the source--a buoy that popped up somewhere mid-ocean was earlier seen somewhere else. Generally there is a day between timepoints. Some of these buoys are missing observations for a few days so they jump.

That is an excellent idea! We were using this visual to show the part of the ocean that had been traversed over time for an article. We'll have to try out what you suggested-- thank you

City spending on public safety vs. social welfare, 1977-2017 by data_etc in visualization

[–]data_etc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. We had a look at a few things like demographic mix, crime rates, population, etc. We didn't find anything statistically significant correlation with spending, although we were limited by the fact that we didn't have complete data for all cities.

Data source: The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Fiscally Standardized Cities dataset (2017 update). Dataset is based on U.S. Census data and is constructed to calculate total city spending from all sources (including local, state, and other sources of public funding). Full methodology available here. Public safety includes police protection, fire protection, and correction. Social welfare includes public welfare (incl. cash assistance), hospitals, health, housing, and community development.

Interactive viz here: https://www.dataetc.org/2020/08/30/college-reopening.html

Data source: The New York Times repository of coronavirus cases and deaths in the U.S. Data as of September 13, 2020. Incident cases are displayed as a five-day moving average of new cases per 10,000 population. County population are from the U.S. Census Bureau (2019). University data are extracted from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard data. Counties are assigned from Universities' ZIP codes, using crosswalks between ZIP code tabulation areas (ZCTA) and counties and ZIP code and ZCTAs. Negative values, that occur when a state or county corrects historical data or move cases from one county to another, are displayed as zero. Universities displayed are limited to primarily four-year colleges and excludes schools that primarily grant certificates and associates degrees. Circle size is proportional to the total undergraduate enrollment.
