Information Visualization Techniques in Action on Democracy, Covid-19, Inequality & Gerrymandering — DataViz Weekly

▤ Summary

See our new picks: Dalia, a global market and opinion research company based in Berlin, released the 2020 edition of the Democracy Perception Index (DPI). Bloomberg News conducted an analysis of data from Oxford’s Stringency Index, which measures the strictness of lockdowns around the world, and Covid-19 cases statistics collected by Johns Hopkins University. Among a number of telling charts provided in the article that describes the results of this analysis, you’ll find an interactive visualization that plots the reactions to the outbreak. Antimander provides an interactive map that shows how districts look in the state of Wisconsin and then how they change as you play with three metrics (first with the help of sliders, then using a parallel coordinates plot). The metrics are compactness (the complexity of district shapes could be an indicator of gerrymandering), fairness (in representing voters’ parties), and competitiveness (in terms of the margin of victory).
