Final Visualization: Marginalized and Poverty

1. Does it appear that marginalization and poverty are correlated in the US? If so, in what way? What region appears to match this trend the closest, and how did you make that determination?

2. In the region that you selected in #1, what racial group is likely to be most affected by this trend, and how do you know?

3. Identify a region that does not fit the national trend. Within that region, choose a state and try to form an explanation for why it behaves the way that it does.

Where were marginalized American children most heavily affected by poverty in 2017?

1. Which state appears to have a greater percentage of minorities?

2. Which minority population has the greatest percentage in this area of the US? What percentage lives in this area?

3. Answer the title. Does this make sense?

Based on climate, which city is best for you?

1. Go through the temperature list and cycle between the different temperatures, what do you notice?

2. Select hot, windy, and I don’t care for “Has Snow or Not”, what cities come up? Does this make sense given their location?

3. Set all lists to “I don’t care”, which city has the highest precipitation in August? Does this make sense?

4. Control-click (on the map) Phoenix, Arizona and Anchorage, Alaska. Compare their temperature and precipitation, what did you find?

The question we wanted to answer was “Based on the Climate, Which City Fits You Best?”. We decided to include a bar graph of the temperature for each city over the course of a year, a line graph of precipitation over the year for each city and a map that tells users where the cities are. We also included lists for the desired temperature, wind, snow and a option for desired amount of rainfall. This lets users select their preferences and find the cities that fit that criteria. This presentation effectively answers the question we posed and allows users to explore the data and answer further in depth questions below the visualization.

Which gender and age group had the greatest rate of increase from 1900 to 2000?

Explore the visualization by answering these questions: 1. Look at the bar graph. What does it represent? 2. Look for the age group that increased the most and the one that increased the least, what are the age groups? 3. From your answers in question 2, look at the ratio of increase for each sex, which sex had a higher ratio of increase and what are they? 4. Think about what might cause the bar graph to look the way it does(all age groups increase, some age groups increasing more than others, etc.), what are some possible causes? 5. Answer the title question, please :)

Visualization 1

    1. Go through each technology and compare the installed capacitance in 2010 and the installed capacitance 2018, which technology has had the greatest increase of installed capacitance?
    2. Repeat step 1, but now select the North American region and the United States, what do you notice that's different?
    3. Select only Marine as technology and flip through the regions. Which region generates the most capacitance for Marine technology in 2016?
    4. Which region generated the most Bioenergy in 2014? to find this you'll need to click the "Show by" drop down arrow and select "Electricity Generation".
    5. Do you think the amount of electricity generated will increase, decrease, or stay the same in years after 2016 and why?
