This animated scatterplot, based on Hans Rosling’s famous visualization, charts the relationship between income per capita and life expectancy for nations from 1800 to 2009. Each circle represents a country, with its horizontal position showing inflation-adjusted income per capita on a log scale, vertical position showing life expectancy, and area encoding population. The circles are colored by region. A year label animates through the two centuries, and the chart automatically plays through the temporal sequence using a 15-second transition, after which users can hover or drag across the year label to scrub through time interactively.

The Wealth & Health of Nations

This animated scatterplot charts the relationship between income per capita and life expectancy for nations from 1800 onward, using log and linear scales on the x- and y-axes respectively. Each circle represents a country, with its position determined by economic and health metrics, its area encoding population, and its color indicating region. The visualization includes a year label, axes with descriptive labels, and interactive tooltips that display the country name and population on hover. Built with D3 v3, the chart loads time-series data from a JSON file and interpolates values for each year, animating the transition as the year label updates.

The Wealth & Health of Nations

This interactive scatterplot animates 209 years of global development, tracing each nation’s per-capita income (x-axis), life expectancy (y-axis), and population (circle radius) across time. Clicking and dragging the year slider scrubs forward and backward through the dataset, with circles colored by geographic region. The visualization uses D3 v3’s scales (log, linear, sqrt), axes, and transitions, interpolating sparse historical data from Gapminder via linear interpolation and bisection. Rendered as animated SVG elements, it recreates Hans Rosling’s famous 2006 TED talk visualization.

Wealth and Health of nations D3v4

This animated scatterplot charts the changing wealth and health of nations from 1800 to 2009, plotting income per capita on a log-scaled x-axis against life expectancy on the y-axis. Each circle represents a country, with its size encoding population and color representing region. A transition smoothly interpolates the data over 30 seconds, with a large year label in the background, while after the animation users can hover over the year label to scrub through time and explore the data manually. The visualization is built with D3 v4 and rendered as SVG.

Wealth and Health of nations D3v4

This animated scatterplot, built with D3v4, visualizes the changing relationship between income per capita, life expectancy, and population across 180 countries from 1800 to 2009. The chart uses a logarithmic x-scale for income, a linear y-scale for life expectancy, and circle radius to represent population, with colors encoding geographic region. Over a 30-second transition, the data points smoothly interpolate between yearly values, while a large year label updates in the background. After the animation completes, hovering over the year label enables interactive scrubbing, allowing viewers to explore the data at any point in time and observe how nations’ wealth and health have evolved over more than two centuries.

wealth & health of nations

This scatterplot, titled “wealth & health of nations,” visualizes the relationship between income per capita and life expectancy across countries. Each circle represents a nation, positioned along a logarithmic x-axis for income and a linear y-axis for life expectancy. Hovering over a circle displays a tooltip with the country’s name. The chart includes labeled axes for "Income per capita" and "Life Expectancy," and the D3 v4 code uses an SVG and animation to render the data.

Health and Wealth from Scratch

This animated scatterplot recreates the classic "Health and Wealth" visualization, showing how national income per capita, life expectancy, and population have evolved over time. Using D3 v4 with SVG, the chart plots countries as circles, with income on a logarithmic x-axis, life expectancy on a linear y-axis, and population mapped to circle radius via a square-root scale. The animation advances year by year from 1950 to 1955, with circles transitioning smoothly between positions as data updates. Axes are drawn for both income and life expectancy, and the dataset is loaded from an external JSON file containing historical records for each country. The visualization highlights the relationship between wealth and health across nations during a brief historical window.

Health and Wealth (Andrew Dbelvins)

Health and Wealth is an animated scatterplot that tracks the relationship between income and life expectancy for countries from 1950 to 1955. Each circle represents a country, with its x-position determined by log-scaled income, y-position by life expectancy, and radius by population. The visualization uses D3 v4 with SVG and transitions to animate the movement of circles as the year increments, highlighting changes in health and wealth over time. The axes are labeled with income (log scale) and life expectancy (linear scale), providing a clear temporal narrative of global development.

CS171 - Health &amp; Wealth of Nations

A scatterplot shows the relationship between national income and average life expectancy across countries, with bubble size representing population and color indicating world region. The visualization loads data from a CSV file and renders circles in an SVG using D3 v5, applying logarithmic and linear scales to map income and life expectancy. Animated transitions are not present, but the chart includes axis labels and a legend-less ordinal color scale for categorical region data.
