This interactive visualization displays demographic data across New York City census tracts using colored contour layers, with orange representing the Black population and green representing the white population, overlaid with city labels. The code builds a spatial index with RBush, samples data points through turf.booleanPointInPolygon, and uses d3.contours with blur2 smoothing to generate the density regions. Orthographic projection, panning, and zooming are implemented via d3.geoPath, drag, and zoom behaviors. Census tract boundaries and demographic data come from processed government shapefiles and ACS datasets.

AI-generated description

Data for New York census tracts, downloaded from https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2023&layergroup=Census+Tracts and processed using https://mapshaper.org/.

Data resides in Gist: New York City Census Tracts.

Census Tracts Contours with Two Variables and City Labels

This example visualizes demographic patterns across New York City census tracts as smooth, colored contour layers, with orange representing the Black population and green representing the White population. The contours are computed from a grid of sampled values using spatial indexing with RBush and point-in-polygon tests via Turf. City labels appear for municipalities above a population threshold, and the orthographic projection supports pan and zoom interactions. The visualization relies on D3’s `geoPath`, `contours`, `geoTransform`, and `scaleSequential` APIs, with data sourced from the 2023 Census Tracts and ACS demographics.

Prototype of Geo Contours on Census Tracts

This prototype visualizes demographic distributions across New York City census tracts using geospatial contour lines. It blends overlaid choropleth-style contours colored by race (white, Black, Asian) onto a 3D orthographic projection, with an interactive pan-and-zoom interface. Data comes from the US Census Bureau’s 2023 Tracts shapefile and ACS estimates. The code uses `d3.geoOrthographic`, `d3.geoPath`, `d3.contours`, `@turf/turf` for point-in-polygon tests, and `RBush` for spatial indexing of tract boundaries.

Fork of Grid Sampling on Census Tracts - Contours from Points

This interactive map visualizes contours of Black population density across New York City census tracts, projected on a rotatable orthographic globe. The visualization uses D3’s `geoOrthographic`, `geoPath`, and `contourDensity` APIs to generate smoothed density bands from tract centroid points weighted by population and land area, colored with a sequential orange scale. Census tract boundaries appear as thin black outlines, while drag and zoom interactions rotate and scale the projection in real time via `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom`. Data comes from the 2023 Census shapefiles and ACS demographics, loaded via `d3.json` and processed with `topojson-client`.

Grid Sampling on Census Tracts - Contours from Sampling

This interactive map displays the distribution of the Black population across New York City census tracts. It creates and renders contour polygons derived from a grid-sampled raster of demographic data, which is then blurred and thresholded using D3’s `contours` and `blur2` APIs. The contours are converted to GeoJSON via Turf, while the base layer uses `geoOrthographic` and `geoPath`. County data comes from the 2023 Census Tracts shapefile, enriched with ACS demographic estimates.

New York City Census Tracts

This interactive visualization displays New York City census tracts on a rotatable and zoomable orthographic globe projection. The map shows tract boundaries with empty fills and thin black strokes, draggable to adjust rotation and zoomable to change the scale. The code uses d3.geoOrthographic, d3.geoPath, d3.drag, and d3.zoom to render and manipulate the map. Census tract geometry comes from a TopoJSON file downloaded from the U.S. Census Bureau and processed with Mapshaper, with demographic data from the American Community Survey.

Fork of Fork of Fork of Grid Sampling on Census Tracts - Coloring by Data

This visualization displays New York City census tracts as a grid of colored squares, where each square’s color intensity represents the Black population count within the tract containing that grid point. The map supports drag-to-pan and zoom interactions, using a geographic orthographic projection. It relies on D3’s `geoOrthographic` and `geoPath`, alongside Turf’s `booleanPointInPolygon` and an RBush spatial index for efficient point-in-polygon queries. Data comes from the 2023 Census Bureau shapefiles and American Community Survey demographics, both loaded as JSON.

New York Census Tracts Demographics: Black

This visualization maps New York census tracts, using the intensity of orange to represent the population identifying as Black or African American, from 2018 American Community Survey data. It displays tract polygons rendered with `d3.geoPath` in an SVG, colored by a sequential scale using `scaleSequential` and `interpolateOranges`. The code loads TopoJSON geometry and ACS data via `Promise.all`, then maps each tract to its demographic values, with hover highlighting and zoom support via D3’s zoom behavior.

New York Census Tracts Demographics: White

This visualization shades New York census tracts by the number of white residents, using a green sequential scale where darker greens indicate higher counts. The map loads TopoJSON geometry and American Community Survey demographic data fetched from a GitHub gist, then joins the data to each tract. It renders SVG paths with `d3.geoPath`, applies an `interpolateGreens` color scale via `scaleSequential`, and supports pan and zoom through `d3.zoom`. Hovering over a tract logs its properties to the console.
