Interactive Data Visualization - Heartbroken America
Heart attacks are the third leading cause of death in America.
Displaying the data in a visual format can help educate the public about heart attack statistics.
Media - Website
Audience - General audience
Medium - Tableau, Wix
Timeline - Oct. to Dec. 2020
The target group for this data visualization is the general public. Therefore, I chose the format of a website for high accessibility as well as maximize engagement through interactive media. This would allow my data visualization to engage the public regarding heart attack statistics. Moreover, illustrating certain trends such as low smoking population has lower heart attacks could aid in educating the general population to make lifestyle modifications for a healthier heart.

All of the data was categorized by state for uniformity for easier comparison. In addition, individual states are more likely to have a larger population that is less likely to be influenced by outliers than cities. This made states an ideal candidate for examining the general trends of heart attacks.
