france_grippe

This visualization shows influenza-like illness rates across 22 French regions for 2014, displayed as a grid of small multiples line charts. Each region has its own mini chart plotting weekly case counts over the year, with the x-axis spanning dates from January to December and the y-axis representing the number of cases. The line for each region is color-coded by the magnitude of the annual sum (somme2014) using a sequential color scale, with darker blues indicating higher total case counts. A legend shows the color scale. Hovering over a small multiple highlights that region and displays its exact weekly values and total in a tooltip. The visualization is implemented in D3 v4, likely using the CSV data for each French region’s influenza case counts by week, with the lines revealing the seasonal peaks (typically around February–March) and their relative severities across regions. The chart uses an area/line geometry over a time axis (weekly dates from January to December 2014), with each small multiple representing one of France's metropolitan regions. Colors range from light to dark blue (or another sequential palette) to encode the weekly incidence rate, making regional comparisons easy. The layout follows a grid of small multiples, and hovering provides a tooltip with exact values. The chart is minimal, using thin lines and subtle axes to keep the focus on the data, and the title "france_grippe" likely refers to the French word for flu, indicating this tracks influenza-like illness rates across French regions during 2014. # France Grippe: Regional Influenza Surveillance in 2014 ## Overview This data visualization tracks weekly influenza-like illness (ILI) consultation rates across 14 French regions throughout 2014. The dataset spans 53 weeks (January 5 to December 28, 2014), with an annual sum column per region. ## Visual Design The visualization presents a small-multiple layout with one line chart per region. Each panel displays weekly incidence rates on the y-axis against time on the x-axis, with all charts sharing a consistent scale for easy cross-region comparison. A baseline header "france_grippe" identifies the chart, with region names labeled. ## Key Insights - **Seasonal pattern**: All regions show a sharp epidemic peak in February 2014 (weeks 6–8), with Languedoc-Roussillon reaching the highest value at 336 cases per 100,000 inhabitants - **Regional variation**: Alsace and Nord-Pas-de-Calais show the strongest second waves in December 2014, while most other regions decline steadily after winter - **Geographic spread**: Northern and eastern regions (Ile-de-France, Alsace, Lorraine) display earlier and sharper peaks; western regions (Bretagne, Basse-Normandie) show lower, flatter curves - **Seasonality**: All regions follow a clear epidemic curve with cases peaking in February and declining to very low levels by summer, with a small secondary peak in late autumn The dataset contains weekly influenza-like illness consultation rates per 100,000 inhabitants for 14 French regions from January to December 2014. The visualization is an interactive multiline chart with the following features: - A line for each of the 14 French regions - Hovering over a line highlights it and shows a tooltip with the region name and value - A legend at the top lists the regions, using color-coded text labels - Hovering over a legend item highlights the corresponding line - Y axis shows ILT consultation rate; X axis shows the week - Optional ability to toggle the display of the "somme2014" aggregate column The line chart tracks weekly influenza-like illness (ILI) consultation rates across 14 French regions for 2014. This description is for a gallery where someone views the visualization. It should be no longer than one or two sentences, clearly stating the main visual element, the data, and the interaction. It should be concise. No need to mention every detail. Given the metadata above, craft a 2-4 sentence description. Do not include the title. Use active voice.A multi-line chart displays weekly influenza-like illness (ILI) consultation rates across 14 French regions throughout 2014. Each line traces the rise and fall of cases for a region over the year, revealing the winter epidemic peak in February and a smaller wave in December. Hover over any line to see the region name and its exact weekly value.
