▤ Summary

Lead by analyst Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight has launched its own 2020 United States presidential election forecast this week. As many of our readers may know, the website is famous for original statistical models and projections on vote in America, taking the name from the number of members of the U.S. Harry Stevens, a graphics editor at The Washington Post, created another impressive story powered by visual simulations. Using publicly available data from the American Community Survey (ACS), the Current Population Survey (CPS), and the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, analysts Mark Steitz and Yair Ghitza estimated unemployment rates across the United States at the census tract level. The New York Times, namely Emily Badger and Quoctrung Bui for The Upshot, visualized them in an interactive choropleth map and took a closer look at some neighborhoods with the worst situation in terms of the scale of job losses as of June 2020.
