Worldwide Suicide Map with Menu
This interactive world map visualizes global suicide statistics from the World Health Organization, with a dropdown menu allowing users to select a specific year from 1979 to 2015 or view the most recent available data. Countries are represented by red circles scaled proportionally to suicide counts using d3.scaleSqrt, positioned via d3.geoNaturalEarth1 and rendered with d3.geoPath. The map displays land masses, graticules, and country borders from World Atlas TopoJSON data. Built with React and D3 v5, the visualization includes all geographic features in SVG format, with suicide rates parsed from CSV data.
