This visualization maps the top 150 US schools by their geographic location, using circle size to represent acceptance rate and color to encode net price. It layers geoshape data from the US 10m TopoJSON API with a point layer positioned via longitude and latitude fields. Built with the Vega-Lite API, it combines the map and scatter plot into a single layered view. The data is loaded from a CSV containing school rankings, with the map rendered using an Albers USA projection.

AI-generated description

A visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api. A scatter plot with D3. 2017 style.

This visualization shows The top 150 US School Data.

It's designed to show top 150 school price and their acceptance rate, and locate them geographically on US map.

From this visualization, I leanrned how to use layer. That is load 2 dataset into on visualization. Also, I leanrned to use api to load US map, using the US map url api dataset to create a layer of US map. It's a json file referenced in this visualization.

Questions I can't figure:

  1. The circles in my map aren't very clear, I can't make it bigger.
  2. The default color from light blue to dark blue showing the price is also not very clear. I wonder if I can make it from blue(low price) to red(high price).
  3. Also, I wonder if I can make price ranges and throw them into bins, then the price can be an ordered catogory.
