This visualization uses a bar chart to show the count of American sheriffs by political party, with bars colored by the sheriff’s racial identity. It clearly reveals that white sheriffs dominate all parties, while minority representatives are nearly absent among Republicans and Independents. Built with the Vega-Lite API, the chart encodes party affiliation on the x-axis, race as color, and uses a count aggregation for the y-axis. Data comes from a CSV file loaded via `d3.csv` from the Reflective Democracy American Sheriffs database, with tooltips provided by Vega-Tooltip.

AI-generated description

A visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.

A program that loads and parses some CSV data from the Reflective Democracy American Sheriffs database.

The data has been cleaned in Excel to fix case discrepancies and remove percentage sign characters.

The visualization shows the count of sheriffs elected categorized by political party affiliation along the X axis. Colors represent racial identity of the elected official.

An overwhelmingly large percentage of Sheriffs are white in all parties, but there are almost no sheriffs from a minority background in the independent or replublican parties.

American Sheriffs Data Summary

This example summarizes the Reflective Democracy Campaign dataset of elected sheriffs by displaying basic file metrics. It shows the CSV file's size in kilobytes, the number of data rows, and the number of columns. The visualization loads the data from a remote Gist URL using `d3.csv` and then displays the computed statistics as large text in a pre element. The code also includes commented-out alternatives using `fetch` with async/await and a nested promise approach.
