A MapBoxGL and D3 web mapping tool for exploring the dynamic population of Manhattan.
You've reached the public Github repository for the Manhattan Population Explorer tool. The tool is currently hosted by Github here with an alias available at ManPopEx.us.
If you are interested in the methodology, you can view a PDF presentation located in the 'presentation' directory, titled '120507_turnstile_presentation.pdf'.
I let my mapbox account expire because it was costing me hundreds of dollars to host this project. Rest assured if you are a developer you can run this locally. Here are the instructions:
- Obtain a MapBox key from a new account at mapbox.com.
- Clone this repository and cd into it.
- Update line 2 of
manpop.jswith your personal key found here. - Run a simple http server from the
manhattanpopulationexplorerdirectory. If you use python:python -m http.server - Navigate to the localhost port the server is listening on. Probably
localhost:8000in your browser.
