This visualization shows the number of crimes reported within 100 yards of each MAX station for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011, using point markers on a map. It first highlights total crime counts per station, then breaks out aggravated assaults for 2010, with a clear ranking of the top stations each year. The code uses D3’s `d3.forceSimulation` to position overlapping station labels, and `d3.geoPath` to render geographic boundaries, while crime counts are drawn from the provided gist data. Station markers and text labels are animated via D3 transitions, though the rendering stays strictly point-based rather than using heatmaps or grid overlays.
