Viz Project
This visualization explores global trends in the World Happiness Report by mapping each country’s life satisfaction against GDP per capita, with additional dimensions for social support, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption. Using D3 v4 with SVG and animation, the chart animates through years to reveal changes in the happiness landscape. Each country is represented as a circle, with its position encoding the relationship between GDP and the life ladder score, while size and color can encode additional variables. The visualization updates smoothly as the year changes, allowing users to compare how countries shift in relative happiness and economic standing over time.
