ILINet Flu Surveillance Data
This visualization displays national ILI total cases per week for each year from 2015 to 2019, using multi-series line marks to compare seasonal flu patterns year-over-year. The chart aggregates ILITOTAL values by year, region, and week, with color and size encoding the year. It is built with vega-lite-api, vega-lite, and d3, pulling data from a CSV fetched via d3.csv. The data originates from CDC FluView Interactive, and the visualization is configured with custom axis and label styling.
AI-generated descriptionA visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.
This graph shows the national ILI total cases annually. The curves from 2015 to 2019 to the present date are displayed. This plot achieves the visualization of the annual ILI total patterns in general, and also provide a direct comparison year-over-year. We can tell 2018 is the year with highest Flu cases in mid February time, while 2019 has a more stretched Flu season comparing to other years.
When interactions are introduced for the visualization together with Choropleths Map, we can select the individual yearly curve and present the map for that given year. We can also select a region or state and present a different portion of the dataset here to see more localized patterns.
