This interactive map visualizes fatal police shootings in the U.S. since 2015, using data from the Washington Post. Users can colorize geographic points by attributes such as race, gender, or threat level, with a linked bar chart showing counts per category. The visualization uses React with d3.v5 for scales, geoAlbersUsa projection via d3.geoPath, and topojson for state boundaries, while a hoverable legend filters points and adjusts opacity.

AI-generated description

A program that loads and parses some CSV data from the Fatal Police Shootings Database compiled by the Washington Post

I used the U.S. Geo Map of State Boundaries projected using GeoAlbersUsa for the underlying map.

The mapping portion of the project is adapted from Mass School District Boundaries from the DataVis class. The chart and interactive legend portions are adapted from Interactice Color Legend from the DataVis class.

This visualiazation allows the user to explore geographic trends in the data based on interactively selected attributes including flee status, race, gender, threat level, use of a body camera, and signs of mental illness in the victim. Upon selection, the geomapped marks change color to reflect the given value in the underlying data. The chart in the bottom right of the visualization changes with the selection to reflect the overall count of each attribute within the selected category. For a more clear picture of a specific attribute within the selection, hover over the legend to see the geographic distribution.

Fork of Fatal Police Shootings In the U.S. Since 2015

This interactive visualization maps fatal police shootings in the U.S. since 2015, using the Washington Post’s dataset overlaid on state boundaries via `d3.geoPath` and `geoAlbersUsa`. Users select an attribute—race, gender, threat level, or others—to color-code points with `d3.scaleOrdinal` and view a corresponding bar chart built with `d3.scaleBand`. Hovering over the legend filters the map to highlight one category while fading others, with React managing the dropdown and state.

Fork of Fatal Police Shootings In the U.S. Since 2015

A map of the United States displays fatal police shootings since 2015, with each incident plotted as a colored circle based on a selected attribute such as race, gender, or flee status. A bar chart in the corner shows the count of events per category, and an interactive legend highlights the geographic distribution of a specific value on hover. The visualization uses React with D3 v5, including `geoAlbersUsa`, `geoPath`, `scaleOrdinal`, and `scaleBand`, loading data from the Washington Post’s Fatal Police Shootings database and state boundaries from a TopoJSON atlas.

Fork of Fatal Police Shootings In the U.S. Since 2015

This interactive visualization maps fatal police shootings in the U.S. since 2015, overlaid on state boundaries projected with `d3.geoAlbersUsa` and rendered as SVG paths. Users can colorize the points by attributes like race, gender, or threat level via a React dropdown, and hover over the ordinal color legend to fade unrelated points. A bar chart using `d3.scaleBand` and `d3.scaleLinear` shows event counts per selected category. Data comes from the Washington Post’s CSV, parsed with `d3.csv`, while state geometries load via `d3.json` and `topojson.feature`.

A choropleth map of fatal police shootings in the U.S. since 2015, using d3.geoAlbersUsa and d3.geoPath to project state boundaries from a TopoJSON atlas. Points are plotted as circles, color-coded by a selected attribute (e.g., race, gender, threat level) via an interactive legend. A bar chart shows the count of each category, and hovering over the legend highlights matching incidents. The CSV data is from the Washington Post, parsed with d3.csv.
