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.

Preview

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.
