Data Visualization Project 1: Health in the USA

Created by Emma Gardner

This project's data was retrieved from the US Heart and Stroke Atlas. The D3 JavaScript library is used to visualize the data, and TopoJSON is used to convert the geographical data into the maps.

The following data is available:

• Economics (orange): poverty percentage, median household income, percent of the population that completed high school.
• Environment (green): air quality and park access.
• Behavioral factors (purple): smoking and inactivity.
• Demographics (pink): elderly and county type (rural/urban/suburban/small city).
• Health care (blue): hospitals, primary care physicians, and no health insurance.
• Health (red): high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, stroke, and high cholesterol.
