Do you like data arranged into pictures?

Perhaps you find it interesting that Wyoming's population has been flat since the 1980s (use the scroll bar).

Maybe you want to see where 2010 US Census returns are highest.

Possibly you'd like to see crimes in your area on a map, or find out what places to avoid if you don't want to get sick.

It may be useful to know where gas is cheapest, or which gas stations have acceptable facilities.

This is the thread for people who like data, and who like seeing that data represented in interesting ways.

edit:

I'll put things people post up here.

    There are some graphs. Some of them are maps.

    I would say this is a map thread. Are maps graphs?

    I took a class called Human Geography for a degree requirement. I swear that professor got a boner from looking at graphs.

    Also, his last name was Graff.

    Flowcharts are a powerful thing, and can be deadly if misused. They're like magical scrolls.

    Mess up one syllable, and you've created a city of the undead.

    How I Met Your Mother is a very good show. You should start S1E1 immediately.

    I am sorry you feel this way, Uriel. Picture a venn diagram of people who are hurt, and then a little circle that says me that is inside the larger circle.

    I'm always wary of getting in to network TV shows because of how quickly they get canned.

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    My experience from cable TV is that a show needs at least three seasons before you can tell if it's any good, with the rare exception.
