Week 2: What attributes are seen as most preferable in a romantic partner:

Week 3: Distributions as a line chart similarly to one or two others, but within a tile map. Each tile shows the distribution relative to all other distributions. Shading highlights the higher proportions for a selected income bracket. I also experimented with a second chart per tile to act as a miniature x-axis and call out the selected income bracket to orientate the viewer, not so sure about this bit … I wanted to show the income bracket too but it was just too dense text-wise! There were a few tricks here – like using a dual axis with area chart to be able to show a different background colour for each tile. Feel free to download the workbook to take a look and let me know if there’s things that could be done more elegantly!

A whole new year of chart makeovers to look forward to! And this year the data is available via data.world too, with integration to a wider set of tools. We’re starting out with a look at per capita poultry consumption in the US since the 1960s based on data from the National Chicken Council; a nice clean line chart that tells the main story. The source data allows us to dive into a little more detail to expand upon the story. It was interesting to look at Turkey and seafood, and also to try to find equivalent data for plant-based proteins.

My version of the chart follows and is also available on Tableau Public here.
