This interactive visualization displays New York City census tracts on a rotatable and zoomable orthographic globe projection. The map shows tract boundaries with empty fills and thin black strokes, draggable to adjust rotation and zoomable to change the scale. The code uses d3.geoOrthographic, d3.geoPath, d3.drag, and d3.zoom to render and manipulate the map. Census tract geometry comes from a TopoJSON file downloaded from the U.S. Census Bureau and processed with Mapshaper, with demographic data from the American Community Survey.

AI-generated description

Data for New York census tracts, downloaded from https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2023&layergroup=Census+Tracts and processed using https://mapshaper.org/.

Data resides in Gist: New York City Census Tracts.

New York City Census Tracts

This visualization displays New York City census tract boundaries as a geographic map, rendered using D3’s `d3.geoPath` on a TopoJSON topology loaded from the `tl_2023_36_tract.json` file. The data originates from the 2023 U.S. Census shapefiles, which were simplified with Mapshaper. The map shows the spatial distribution of tracts across the city, with the D3 projection transforming the geographic coordinates into a navigable 2D layout.

New York Census Tracts

A map of New York State census tracts appears in gray, with orange highlighting on hover and dark borders outlining each tract. The visualization uses D3.js (v3) with TopoJSON to load and project geographic data from `ny.json`, and `d3.geo.path()` converts the topology features into SVG paths. The data is filtered to exclude water counties, and tract IDs are displayed as tooltips.

New York Census Tracts

A choropleth-style map of New York census tracts renders all tract polygons in gray, with tract borders drawn in dark gray to reveal the state's internal administrative divisions. The visualization loads pre-projected TopoJSON geographic data (`ny.json`), which the code trims by excluding water-only county rows. Using d3.geo.path with a null projection for rendering and topojson.feature to convert the geometry, the map displays tract IDs as SVG title tooltips on hover. The style uses default light gray fills for each tract polygon.

New York Census Tracts

This example displays New York Census Tracts as gray polygons with black borders, rendered as SVG paths that fill the viewport. Loading GeoJSON via `d3.json` and converting TopoJSON with `feature`, the map uses `d3.geoPath` without a projection. The visualization supports interactive panning and zooming through `d3.zoom`, which applies transformations to a group element. Hovering changes a tract’s fill to red via CSS. Data comes from Mike Bostock’s New York Census Tracts block, using TopoJSON and D3 v5.

New York Map

This map of New York census tracts uses a green sequential color scale to show the concentration of white residents per tract, with darker greens indicating higher counts. The visualization fetches census tract boundaries as TopoJSON and demographic data from the American Community Survey API, then joins them by tract ID. The code uses d3.geoPath to render the SVG paths and d3.scaleSequential with interpolateGreens for color encoding, while d3.zoom enables interactive panning and zooming of the map.

Census Tracts Contours with City Labels

This interactive visualization displays demographic data across New York City census tracts using colored contour layers, with orange representing the Black population and green representing the white population, overlaid with city labels. The code builds a spatial index with RBush, samples data points through turf.booleanPointInPolygon, and uses d3.contours with blur2 smoothing to generate the density regions. Orthographic projection, panning, and zooming are implemented via d3.geoPath, drag, and zoom behaviors. Census tract boundaries and demographic data come from processed government shapefiles and ACS datasets.

Fork of Grid Sampling on Census Tracts - Contours from Points

This interactive map visualizes contours of Black population density across New York City census tracts, projected on a rotatable orthographic globe. The visualization uses D3’s `geoOrthographic`, `geoPath`, and `contourDensity` APIs to generate smoothed density bands from tract centroid points weighted by population and land area, colored with a sequential orange scale. Census tract boundaries appear as thin black outlines, while drag and zoom interactions rotate and scale the projection in real time via `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom`. Data comes from the 2023 Census shapefiles and ACS demographics, loaded via `d3.json` and processed with `topojson-client`.

Fork of WIP New York Census Tracts Demographics

This visualization displays demographic data for New York Census Tracts, coloring each tract by its white population count using a sequential green color scale. The map is rendered as an SVG using d3.geoPath, with the geographic boundaries provided by TopoJSON. Population data comes from the American Community Survey API, which is fetched asynchronously and merged with the tract geometries. Users can pan and zoom the map via d3.zoom, and hovering over a tract logs its properties to the console.
