Major U.S. Airports by Departure Delay
This visualization maps major U.S. airports by departure delay using a geospatial scatter plot overlaid on state boundaries. Circle radius encodes the total departure delay at each airport, with larger circles indicating more significant delays. The map uses the `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` from D3 v5 to render the state outlines, while React manages the component structure. Data comes from a Flight Delay Analysis Dataset, and the underlying geography uses the U.S. Atlas states-10m TopoJSON file.

This chart meant to show the "Major U.S. Airports by Departure Delay". The color saturation denotes the total Departure Delay at that airport.
I used the U.S. Geo Map of State Boundaries for the underlying map.
Adapted from Largest Cities by population in 2020 & Fatal Police Shootings Mapped Across the U.S. & Mass School District Boundaries from the Data Visualization class.
The intent of this graph is to map each flight to it's destination location(within the U.S.) with a semitransparent circle to show darker regions as the airports with higher flight departure delay density.
An additional feature that could be added to this chart is the zooming functionality to show the major airports of those states/cities. Also, the values could be shown on a tooltip when you hover over those data points.
