Hi Joe, I think that this chart could be really useful for your group’s project. I recall that you had yet to come up with a relevant visualization since data was difficult to come by. I did not watch the Buzzfeed video, so I do not know if they take up the issue of poverty and the relationship that you are trying to represent here. Maybe if it is not discussed in the Buzzfeed video you could bring this visualization and the data that it comes from into your project, if it does not further complicate things. Other than that, I like that it is interactive, hovering over the chart definitely makes it more readable. The one thing that I am confused about is the size of the bars. This could just be my own data iliteracy, but I thought that if they are showing proportions than they would all be the same height? Explaining this would be one thing that would make this chart more accessable.
