Exploring Data on Drought, Impeachment, Opioids, and Tax — DataViz Weekly
Summary
The new tool provides a convenient display of drought levels across the country, allowing analysts to monitor not only the current ones but also view weekly data going back to January 2000. Look at the animated GIF to watch a transition between the surface area of the U.S. counties and their associated population to compare the two visualizations and see again how different approaches to graphical representation can lead to different perceptions and conclusions when exploring data. Médor, a Belgian magazine mostly working in the investigative report style, delved into the issue of opioid consumption with the focus on the situation in Belgium, and on behalf of operational analytics company Jetpack AI he helped them with data visualization. In a new book titled “The Triumph of Injustice” released just about now, UC Berkeley’s professors of economics Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez present a look into the tax system of the United States and how it has changed. In his column for The New York Times, famous journalist David Leonhardt delves into more details about the new data and the book itself and shows a cool chart that visualizes how the total tax rate in the U.S. have changed since 1950 across all income groups.
