![]() ![]() Besides revealing other interesting facts such as the 10 most spoken language families, another visualization created by the Density Design Lab highlights that there are 14,680 exchange words-meaning words donated and received between languages. Visualization by: Density Design Lab Did you know there are 2,678 living languages in the world? In Density Design Lab’s “After Babylon,” you can see the world’s languages in a collection of interactive maps and graphs that use the World Atlas of Language Structures to show where a language originates, where it’s spoken, and how much of the world’s population speaks it. When large volumes of complex statistical data need to be made comprehensible, heatmaps can be effective and you’ll often see them used in sports analytics. If you’re a soccer fan, it’s a helpful way to see how players at each position stack up to their competitors. This visualization is a blend of teams and players in the 2018 World Cup tournament, combined with player ratings from FIFA 18. Comparing this information on an XY axis and visualized in another format such as heat maps is becoming popular. Visualization by: Scott Teal Not all location data must be plotted on maps. The circle size also indicates the power output generated by the source. Each circle represents an individual power source, which are color-coded by type, with the source key demonstrating total capacity nationwide. This interactive, colorful map details exactly where the United States’ electricity comes from and how much energy is generated. Visualization by: Simon Evans and Rosamund Pierce When turning on a light, you don’t necessarily think about the power source behind it. Select one of the bars to see which countries celebrate that holiday or you can select a country on the map to see which holidays they celebrate, as it filters the bars that spread from the center. In this former “Viz of the Week” from the Tableau Public gallery, Alexander Waleczek analyzed public holidays around the world and developed a map showing where a different holiday is held each day during the year. Visualization by: Alexander Waleczek If you need a reason to celebrate today, this map has you covered. The bars, looking like skyscrapers, reveal the population of a specific block and dark-red colors indicate denser population in Midtown, the Financial District, and other areas. Justin created block-by-block estimates for Manhattan’s population, which were reflected in the map’s depiction of hourly changes throughout the week. An interactive map by data viz designer and researcher Justin Fung shows the mini-migration during a single day using data from the 2010 Census, the MTA’s turnstile database, and a previous NYU study. This stems from having two million residents, but is also influenced by the additional two million people who pour into the city during workdays. Visualization by: Justin Fung Manhattan is the densest area in the U.S., and one of the densest in the world. Several best-in-class interactive maps exist, but these ten notable examples cover different topics, span the globe, and demonstrate the power of location data when paired with business intelligence. Seeing location data mapped and included in visualizations has both enhanced understanding by more audiences and offered a valuable, new context. With technology advancements, content on maps and the maps themselves became digital, interactive, and more appealing as they’re incorporated in data analysis and reporting. Until recently, maps were static and printed, which limited the potential for business use cases. Maps have a long history and remain a staple in our daily lives-to navigate on road trips or understand proximity of one location to another.
