Worldwide Suicide Map with Menu
An interactive world map displays suicide counts by country, with a dropdown menu to switch between years from 1979 to 2015 or the most recent available figure. Circles sized by a square-root scale encode the suicide numbers, overlaid on a natural Earth projection rendered with d3.geoPath. The visualization uses React for state management, D3 for data loading and scales, and SVG for rendering, with country boundaries from World Atlas TopoJSON and suicide data from a WHO-based CSV dataset.
