A Thousand Milieus on Datavisualization. Anatomy of The U.S. Tax Payer. iPhone 5: The Rumors and The Roadmap. Ghost Counties on Datavisualization. Earlier this year, Visualizing.org and Eyeo made an open call for designers and developers to create an interactive portrait of America by visualizing the 2010 census data.
Jan Willem Tulp, a freelance information visualizer based in The Netherlands has recently published his submission for the competition called Ghost Counties. The visualization, developed in Processing, analyzes the numbers of homes and vacant homes in proportion to the population of all counties in the United States of America. The data itself was not very complex, but rather big, and the biggest challenge was to find a creative approach to visualize this data, but without using a map (which would be rather obvious since it’s about locations). The counties are represented by two concentric circles and the size of the outer bubble represents the total number of homes, the size of the inner bubble represents the number of vacant homes.
