Outbreaks in United States
This interactive visualization displays the distribution of disease outbreaks across US states, with color intensity representing the number of illnesses reported. The map uses a pink color scale mapped to the sum of illnesses per state, with white indicating no reported cases and darker pink indicating higher counts. The code employs d3.geoPath with a geoAlbers projection to render US state boundaries from the us-atlas TopoJSON, while React hooks load and process outbreak data from the CDC NORS system. Graticules and state interiors are drawn as additional SVG paths to enhance geographic context.
