These graphics are merely meant for illustrative purposes only. Some of this data is simulated, and some comes from publically available datasets, but none of these analyses have been thoroughly audited.

 

Multi-layer, interactive map

A visualization I made for a researcher studying education, early childhood experiences, and criminal justice contact. This data comes from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting data for 1990. Click on a county to get more information about it. Click different radio buttons (lower left corner of map) to map different variables. When you click a county, the data displayed will represent the layer you are viewing.

Comparing the rate at which California counties assign youth electronic monitoring (as a condition of parole, pre-trial release, etc.) among counties that charge the families of those youth for the monitoring, with those counties that do not charge families for the cost of that monitoring. This is simulated data, to help prepare for when data requested through a Public Records Act request is fulfilled.

A map with select 2015 San Francisco housing sales data, made from a UC Berkeley D-Lab workshop on geospatial analysis in R (code here ). Click on a dot for more information about that home.

 
 
 

A quickly-thrown together extrapolation of the maps at the top of the page to the whole United States. Since the researcher I did that work for was interested only in North Carolina, there are fewer issues with the data for that state. Clearly there are some quick fixes that would improve this extension I made to the entire country (such as dealing with NaNs).
