Project information

  • Exploratory Visualization with Multivariate and Multitemporal Geographic Data
  • Course: Data Visualization
  • Project date: 11 December, 2023
  • GitHub Link to see the Code
In this exercise I used p5.js to create an interactive geographic visualization to explore a multi-temporal and multi-variate data set of crime statistics across the United States
How to use the APP?
  • Click a crime and compare how the centroid of that crime moves with how the population centroid moves.
  • Click "Zoom In" to see better the path
Points to highlight:
  • Crime data is not available in New York from 1960-1964
  • To better appreciate the movement of both centroids, I suggest that instead of moving the slider, you click on it and move it using the arrow keys.
  • The intensity of the color is used to compare crime rate within states
Used Dataset and Files:
  • CrimeByState.csv
  • CrimeByState_metadata.txt
  • StateBoundaries.csv (GEO information to delimitate states)
  • StateCentroids.csv (GEO information including the centroids of each state)
