I want to create a customizeable visualization that compares health risk factors (obesity, smoking status and healthcare access) that different demographics (poverty level, household income and age) face in each U.S. state.

Data Set

U.S. Census Bureau and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, based on 2014 ACS 1-year estimates: https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/searchresults.xhtml https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/searchresults.xhtml

Visualization

• Tech Environment: D3, Javascript, HTML5, GitHub, VSCode
