Weekly Viz – The Great American Sex Drought

#MakeoverMonday Week 29 2019

This week data-set was from GSS Data Explorer and can be found on data.world.

What’s good?

• Perfectly scaled axis
• Legible labels
• Provides a good comparison between the three parameters at hand across the years

View the interactive visualization on my Tableau Public Profile

My main motive was to first attract the viewer my giving the essence of the dashboard at first glance. Next, I tried to summarize the change from 1989 to 2018 via a dumb-bell graph which clearly conveys the trend supported by the annotated relevant values.

I welcome suggestions – connect with me on twitter (@viraj155) to share your visualizations!

• Axis should display marks every 20 degrees, and should provide context to the reader at the top most mark
• Add a reference line for the current month, that will update automatically as the year goes on
• Add a circle over the point in the lines that represents the current month’s average temp
