Outbreaks in United States
This visualization displays a choropleth map of the United States showing the distribution of disease outbreaks, with state-level shading indicating illness counts. It uses React to manage component state and data fetching, while D3 v5's geoAlbers projection and geoPath render the map geometry from TopoJSON US Atlas data. The color scale maps outbreak data from the CDC’s NORS dataset, and land features are colored based on illness totals loaded via D3’s csv method.
