I took a class on election analytics where, using RStudio, we generated maps, graphs and charts for the 2024 election. Here are a few examples of the work that I did in the class:

GRAPI by Tennessee House District

GRAPI stands for Gross Rent as a Percentage of Household Income. According to Census data, around 30% of Rutherford County renters can’t truly afford their rent. In this map, we show a map of renters who are overspending on rent by state house district in Rutherford County.
