Figure 1

This figure below is a combination of an area chart, a line chart, and a scatter plot that visualizes and tracks population growth in the United States over time. The x-axis represents the years, while the y-axis measures the population. It’s also an interactive plotly figure where each point shows both the exact population and the corresponding year when hovering over it. I even applied a light theme to the figure.

Figure 2

This figure below is a connected scatter plot, which is a combination of both a line chart and a scatter plot. It depicts the average earnings for bachelor’s degree holders by year. However, this chart only covers the years between 1975 and 2017, based on available data. The x-axis represents the years, while the y-axis measures earnings in dollars. It’s also an interactive plotly figure in that when you hover over each point in the figure, the mean earnings and their corresponding year appear. I even applied a light theme to the figure.

Figure 3

This figure below is a horizontal bar chart that visualizes the number of houses built in the United States by decade. The x-axis represents each decade based on available data. The y-axis and the legend both measure the number of houses built. I used a purple-orange gradient color scheme, where purple represents a lower number of houses while orange represents a higher number of houses.

Figure 4

The figure below is another horizontal bar chart that visualizes the total number of crimes committed in each U.S. state. However, the visualization does not include every state due to limited data availability. The x-axis represents each state in abbreviated form. The y-axis and the legend represent the number of crimes committed. I used a blue-red gradient color scheme, in which blue represents a lower number of crimes while red represents a higher number of crimes.

Figure 5

This figure below is a pie chart that illustrates and compares employment in the United States by industry. Each slice in the pie chart illustrates a particular industry sector measured as a value. When you add up the values in each slice, they add up to 100, representing total employment in the United States. The legend represents each industry sector by color. The color palette used for this pie chart is known as “Green2Magenta16Steps.”

Figure 6

This figure below is a horizontal bar chart that visualizes the total number of households by income. The x-axis and legend represent each income range based on the available data. The y-axis represents the number of households. Color was used to represent a particular income range. Light blue represents the household income range of $10,000 to $14,999. Regular blue represents the household income range of $15,000 to $24,000. Light green represents the household income range of $25,000 to $34,000. Regular green represents the household income range of $35,000 to $49,000. Pink represents the household income range of $50,000 to $74,999. Red represents the household income range of $75,000 to $99,999. Inside each bar, the exact number of households that have that particular amount of income is labeled. According to this figure, 16,650,769 households have income between $75,000 and $99,999. 21,096,082 households have an income between $50,000 and $74,999. 13,834,348 households have an income between $35,000 and $49,999. 9,425,048 households have income between $25,000 and $34,999; 8,812,966 households have income between $25,000 and $34,999; and 4,835,372 households have income between $10,000 and $14,999.

Figure 7

This figure below is a pie chart that illustrates and compares the U.S. population by age. Each slice illustrates a particular age range measured as a value. When you add up the values in each slice, they add up to 100, representing the total population in the United States. The legend in the figure represents each age range by color. A “Blue2DarkOrange18Steps” color palette was used for the slices in the chart as well as the legend.

Figure 8

This figure below is a horizontal bar chart that visualizes the population in the United States living in poverty by race. The y-axis measures the population, while the x-axis represents each race based on the available data. The legend in the figure also tracks the population. A brown-gold color gradient was used, where brown represents a lower number of people living in poverty, while gold represents a higher number of people living in poverty.
