This interactive tool explores the National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) dataset, which contains 8,338 records of disease outbreaks across the United States. It uses D3.js v5 to load the CSV data via the `d3.csv` method and displays a summary of the file’s size, row count, and column count on the page. The visualization is designed to help answer questions about outbreak seasonality, geographic distribution by type, and the most serious etiologies, with data sourced from the CDC’s public NORS dashboard.

National Outbreak Public Data

Gist

Description: The National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) supports outbreak reporting by partners in state, local, and territorial public health agencies.
It includes different types of Outbreaks such as: Food, Water, Animal, Contact, Environmental, Person to Person, Indeterminate/Unknown

Sourcelink: National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS)

Attributes: “Country”, “month”, ”state”, “Primary Mode”

Number of records: 8338

Size of the file: 1,003KB

Format: CSV

Questions:

  • Does the outbreak have the seasonality? Which months have highest frequency?
  • How was the distribution of the outbreaks for each type in America?
  • Which is the most serious etiology? Which state most easily has it?

Data Table Summary

This visualization displays a summary of a CSV dataset containing CDC NORS outbreak reports from 2015 to 2016. It prints the total row count, column count, and file size in kilobytes, then shows the first ten rows as formatted JSON. The code uses d3.csv to load data.csv and d3.csvFormat to calculate its size, with d3.select appending pre elements to the body for output.

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.

Outbreaks in United States

This map of the United States visualizes the distribution of disease outbreaks, with each state shaded according to the total number of reported illnesses. The color scale ranges from white to pink, using a linear scale to represent increasing case counts. The visualization uses a React frontend with D3 v5 for geographic rendering, employing geoAlbers and geoPath for the map projection, while state boundaries come from the US Atlas TopoJSON dataset. Outbreak data is processed from the CDC’s National Outbreak Reporting System, aggregated by state through a custom data-processing function.

Outbreaks in the US Timeseries

This interactive line chart displays monthly counts of illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths from U.S. outbreak data, revealing a seasonal pattern with peaks in winter and lows in summer. Built with React and Vega-Lite API, it maps the timeline by concatenating year and month into a timestamp field. The chart layers three semi-transparent lines with tooltips that show aggregated values on hover. Data originates from the National Outbreak Public Data Tool, loaded via D3’s `csv` function. The visualization uses Vega-Lite’s `markLine` and `.fieldT`/`.fieldQ` encodings, with custom styling from a shared config file.

Outbreaks in United States

This interactive visualization displays the distribution of disease outbreaks across US states, with color intensity representing the number of illnesses reported. The map uses a pink color scale mapped to the sum of illnesses per state, with white indicating no reported cases and darker pink indicating higher counts. The code employs d3.geoPath with a geoAlbers projection to render US state boundaries from the us-atlas TopoJSON, while React hooks load and process outbreak data from the CDC NORS system. Graticules and state interiors are drawn as additional SVG paths to enhance geographic context.

Outbreaks in the US Timeseries

This multi-line time-series chart displays the monthly frequency of illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths from US outbreak data, revealing clear seasonality with peaks in winter and lows in summer. The visualization aggregates the raw CSV data by summing each health metric per month, using the Vega-Lite API within a React framework to layer three distinct line marks. Interactive tooltips display exact aggregate values when hovering over any point on the lines, while a custom config adjusts axis styling for readability. The data is loaded and parsed with d3.csv.

Outbreaks in United States

This choropleth map visualizes the distribution of disease outbreaks across the United States, with state-level shading indicating the total number of reported illnesses. The map uses a linear color scale from white to pink to encode illness counts, with darker shades representing higher numbers. Built with React and D3 v5, the visualization employs `d3.geoAlbers` and `d3.geoPath` to render U.S. state boundaries from TopoJSON data, while illness totals are aggregated from the CDC’s National Outbreak Reporting System via CSV. Graticules and sphere outlines provide geographic context.

Outbreaks

The visualization aggregates reported foodborne illness outbreaks by month, summing illnesses and color-coding bars by primary transmission mode. It filters out records with missing transmission data from a public national outbreak dataset. Built with React, D3 v5’s `csv` loader, and the Vega-Lite API, the bar chart uses `markBar`, `fieldQ('Illnesses').aggregate('sum')`, and `fieldN('Primary Mode')` for color encoding, with custom axis and label styling from a shared config.
