Outbreaks in United States
This map of the United States visualizes the distribution of disease outbreaks, with each state shaded according to the total number of reported illnesses. The color scale ranges from white to pink, using a linear scale to represent increasing case counts. The visualization uses a React frontend with D3 v5 for geographic rendering, employing geoAlbers and geoPath for the map projection, while state boundaries come from the US Atlas TopoJSON dataset. Outbreak data is processed from the CDC’s National Outbreak Reporting System, aggregated by state through a custom data-processing function.
