Methodology

Here are a few points about how to navigate about this visualization

  • Upon loading, the first visual will be a chloropleth showing the deaths per state. Darker implies greater.
  • Click on state to zoom in onto a state and get details. This will also show a grid with details about each person.
  • Double click on state to zoom out.
  • You can hover over any element to even more details.
  • The bubbles on the map are colored blue and red to show male and female deaths(respectively) normalized by the population in that city/town/county.
  • On the grid, the reds show female deaths and the blues show male deaths. The greys depicts unknown gender. The darkness of the colors are based on the age groups(Child/Adoloscent/Adult) of the victim. Darker colors correspond to higher age group.
