This interactive choropleth map visualizes 2010 unemployment rates by census tract in San Mateo County, California. It uses D3’s geo and zoom behaviors to render SVG paths from TopoJSON shapefile data, with colors scaled by an unemployment dataset from the county’s open data portal. Hovering reveals a tooltip with the exact percentage for each tract. The map is drawn using `d3.geo.mercator`, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.behavior.zoom`.

AI-generated description

This map shows unemployment data for census tracts in San Mateo county, California, from 2010.

  • Hover to get details for each census tract.
  • Pan and zoom by clicking, dragging, and scrolling.

The idea for doing this was inspired by the San Mateo Hackathon. The data comes from County of San Mateo Open Data Portal. Census tract shapes originally downloaded from US Census 2010 TIGER/Line® Shapefiles: Census Tracts then simplified using MapShaper.

Draws from the D3 Choropleth Example.
