Visualizations

For our visualizations we ended up using the metrics and attributes explained in our previous post. We compared each county in the visualizations below by their gross incomes, lowest wages and salaries, number of tax exemptions, lowest amount of interest earned per anum, and lowest number of dividends before exclusions.


Vertical Bar- Clustered has being selected here because it is the simplest and best way to differentiate between given set of data and especially when you have to show highest or lowest figures. In above graph you can see the difference of gross incomes between different states. California is the county with highest adjusted gross incomes amongst the rest.


As explained in the above post the bar graphs are the simplest way to explain data so horizontal bar graphs has a dependent variable on the horizontal scale. This type of bar graph is typically referred to as a horizontal bar graph. Otherwise the layout is similar to the vertical bar graph. In this micro strategy we can see that Kalawao County is the County with lowest wages and salary incomes rest than others.


 A ring chart, or multilevel pie chart, is used to visualize hierarchical data, depicted by concentric circles. The circle in the center represents the root node, with the hierarchy moving outward from the center. Over here which states that DC has lowest number of Taxes exemption.


Line chart explain best about the decline or rise in the growth in some years and over here it explains about variation in the amount of Interest earned per annum. Over here accoding to this line chart  AK is County of USA which has lowest mount of interest earned per annum.


The Bubble Grid widget conveys information in such a way that an analyst can, at a glance, identify important trends or anomalies in data, relative to the total contribution of accompanying data. In the widget, metric values are plotted as bubbles of different colors and sizes; the colors and sizes of the bubbles represent the values of two distinct metrics on the Grid/Graph. Over here explains that Kalawao County in USA is the County which has lowest percent of dividends before exclusion.

 In conclusion, each of these visualizations shows the difference in all of our information in an easy to view way. 
  • The first graph shows how California's gross incomes rise very high above the others. While Florida, Illinois, Texas, and New York stay relatively close to one other, California shows a great difference. 
  • The second graph shows lowest wages and salary incomes. The two lowest are Loving County in Texas and Kalawao County in Hawaii, which does not even make an impact on the graph because of their low rates.
  • The third graph shows the lowest number of tax exemptions. They are all relatively close to one another, but DC in the lowest while Arkansas is the highest out of these lower tax exemptions.
  • The fourth graph shows the lowest amount of interest earned per anum, as shown, Arkansas has the lowest while South Dakota has the highest.
  • The last graph shows the lowest number of dividend before exclusions. Arthur County has the largest as shown by the large green square in the graph, while Loving County and Kalawao County both have the lowest shown by the smaller red squares.
