Interesting Visualization Of ACS Migration Data

Cliff Cook over 11 years ago

While not GIS, I found this chart to be a very interesting visualization of migration data from the 2012 ACS and did not know where else to post the link:

If you mouse over the name of a state the graphic changes to display just flows in and out of that state. Only flows over 10,000 people are shown.

There is a short article in The Atlantic about this effort:

Perhaps this group could cover not just GIS but any visualization of ACS data.

I got in touch with the authoer Chris Walker and this is what he told me about the graphic: "I utilized a JavaScript library called D3.js (http://d3js.org/) that allows you to create really powerful interactive data visuals. It was created by Michael Bostock who is currently at the New York Times graphics desk. A lot of those really cool New York Times interactive graphics you’re probably familiar with were created with D3.js. The library is open source and there is a strong developer community."
