it is a project that visualized the results returned from the census 2010 for washington state, the data is provided by the WA government with tiles added in map as options. The project used smart dashboard to show the different info of each county. The smart dashboard is divided into three subsections

  • race section shows the racial distribution of different counties, and it shows the specific number of the races and total population

  • income section demostrates the income level (household median income) and poverty level of each county, the visualization puts them in rank and show the rank of poverty and median income at the same time, it is easier to tell whether or not there is a large income gap by comparing the two features.

  • age section provides graph of population of different age group of differnt counties, it reflects whether or not the age group distribution of the county is health or not.

There are also two tiles(a highway tile and a park viewing sites tiles are provided, audience can use these two layers to see are the park sites or highway related to income or population of the area. There are three types of basemap as well.

Besides, once enter the website, there is main panel that offers general information about the station, the data source is also census 2010. It provides basic information like general income, poverty, racial distribution, and age groups of the whole State.

census_2010_wa's Issues

peer review geog458

Hello,
Nice to see a map that has some other data visualizations besides a map. Adding a pie chart and a bar chart are both great ideas. Moreover, the flexibility you give to users to navigate your map is well-done as well. However, one thing to mention is that the pie chart seems not functioning properly.

Geography 458

Very cool and detailed visualization! I enjoy how much information you provide in the left panel, it makes this map useful for a lot of different subjects. I also like all of the options that you provide in the layer box. I think the map of Washington counties could use some dynamic color to hold the viewer's attention. Overall very well done!

Peer Review

Pros

  • I like the variety and medium of data shown!
  • Graphs are awesome.
  • Volume of data is super impressive.
  • Considering how much data you included, the navigation works really well

Cons

  • Maybe implement some UI elements to help direct the viewer’s attention. There’s a ton of data, but in its current form it feels very spread out. It would be nice to see some links between different datasets and real-world occurrences relating to the data.
