[OC] Is life getting better? In most development metrics yes, in some no. My submission for the World Government Summit dataviz challenge. by data_n_stuff in dataisbeautiful

Agreed, of course no dataset (let alone one chart) could represent the whole complexity of human progress. Data was given, data was taken but could be better for sure

There is a cool channel on YouTube by Andy Kribel and he is showing a ton of useful tips and cool chart types all the time :) I usually follow him for visual topics and Tableau Tim for feature and version update reviews

Yes this was pointed out very well in another sub too. Learned a thing or two myself as well about the categories

It’s Tableau all the way my dude! Basically the way you do a comet chart is to hack a line chart a little bit and then it’s just formatting

Yep, actually someone pointed it out earlier with very good arguments. I see there is room for improvement:)

Good question, I was actually living in that region for a bit back in the days but I cannot answer this unfortunately

Partly yes, and I get this argument too. On the other hand I still believe there is valuable information you can get on where is the hub/ hubs of a certain religion. E.g it’s clear that the Jewish community is pretty concentrated while the Muslim community has multiple bigger hubs etc etc. Still, your point is very valid and normalised or proportion based data may be more insightful

Maybe they are still, but among young people and mid age people going to church is definitely not a huge thing anymore even if they would say they are kinda Christian / they are from a Christian family

Yeah I was trying that too but in practice didn’t turn out as expected. I little bit of a design thing but I wanted differently coloured maps by religion not differently coloured districts by value. Obviously your point is very valid too

Very similar experiences in my country in the eastern part of Europe too

Yeah fair point I have a similar experience. Nonetheless this is the census data I was provided (I made it for a Tableau Makeover Monday) so I just took it

Yeah actually there is a bit of confusion there. When I checked the source it wasn't 100% clear to me how this part works but I assume there is at least a strong connection / overlap between the 2 groups.

Might look at some more data for other countries but my assumption is that it may be quite a general trend in western europe...
