My Many-Eyes Data Visualizations via Infomous

Debt to GDP Ratio of Selected Countries

Many Eyes is very useful for showing trends. I often use their treemap for comparisons. 


On the above Treemap, quickly see that Italy's External Debt to GDP ratio (bright orange) increases 55% between July 2010 and July 2011.  China (bright blue) decreased 33%.

Drug Offenders in U.S. Federal Prisons

The U.S. Federal prison population for drug offenses is . . .

• Over three times any other type of offense
• More than all other types combined
• Increasing by 4% in percentage of total over the last two years

This data visualization was done via IBM's Many Eyes. It shows the change of federal prison population over a 2-year period (2008-2010).

Visualizing the U.S. Federal Prison Population by Types of Offenses (April 2009)

(Click on image for dynamic chart.)

This chart shows the types of offenses under which the U.S. federal prison population (205,096) was sentenced.

The big fat light-blue bubble is Drug Offenses, 350% larger than the next highest category (Weapons, Explosives and Arson).

Data came from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the data visualization was made using Many Eyes.
