Veterans Across America

Technology Used: D3, jQuery

About: This web map was part of a school assignment. The assignment was to create a coordinated visualization using D3. I had to create a map with at least 15 enumeration units and have at least 5 numerical variables for the enumeration units.

Process: This was my introduction to D3. I decided to use all 50 states as my enumeration units. I managed to find veteran data for each state. The majority of the stats are a percentage of the state's population. For instance, I found the percentage of a state's population that are veterans. There is a dropdown option for the user to easily change the attribute. When a user changes the attribute, the map will change colors and the bar graph below the map will realign so that the highest percentage states are on the left side of the graph.
