You're tasked with analyzing the current trends shaping people's lives, as well as creating charts, graphs and interactives to help readers understand your findings. The editor wants to run a series of feature stories about the health risks facing particular demographics.
Look for demographic information using the 2014 one-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
- Topics -> Dataset -> 2014 ACS 1-year estimates
- Geographies -> Select a geographic type -> State - 040 -> All States within United States and Puerto Rico
Next, you'll search for data on health risks using 2014 survey data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
To make sure you have a solid trend, you need to test for correlation with Excel's =CORREL()
function.
Using the D3 techniques we taught you in class, create a scatter plot that represents each state with circle elements.
- Note: You'll need to use
http-server
to display the graphic since you're pulling data in from a source outside of your app.js file.
When your d3.html
displays the graphic just as you'd like it to, embed it in index.html
with an iframe. Add a quick written analysis of your data below the graphic.
