For #MakeoverMonday week 27, this week it was time to work on Rats sightings in New York. It was interesting data about Rats sightings in New York City from 2010 till date with details about it.
Here is the original viz was created by Jowanza Joseph and it seemed to be from R:
Data is available on data.world and source of data was NYC Open Data
Whats good?
- Simple chart with clear axis which makes it easy to understand
- Cyclic nature of Rats sighting every year
- Average line to give an indicator about steady growth in sightings
Here is what I did:
- Use of Bar chart to represent sightings for each year and its growth from previous year
- Added month wise and year wise heat map which shows the cyclic nature of sightings each year (around May to Aug)
- Added Map to show the number of sighting based on zip code
- Borough filter to see visualisation borough wise.
Here is the Image of the visualisation I created (Click on image to get interactive version):
