AP Economic Stress Map (November update)
In: Employment Finance Housing Interactive Maps Updated regularly US Economy
2 Nov 2009Updated November 2nd. The map displays unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy, or a composite “stress index”, by county. In the upper right you can change the period the %-change is calculated for. To look at data over time, click on the “Oct.2007 to present” option and a historical slider will appear at the bottomDouble click on a region to zoom in; click & hold to move around.
Timeline of recession and recovery (the Adversity Index) from Moodys/MSNBC (1995-2009). You can drill down to individual metro areas by clicking on a state. The Adversity Index page has a number of related articles.
There’s also a map of “recession resistant areas” (has had no more than 9 months of recession over the past 15 years).
Obama Tracker
26 Oct 2009An odd little tool – it’s a timeline of major economic, domestic policy, and foreign policy events and developments. It’s not clear to me what use the bars are. Perhaps a calendar would have been better?
Best City to be Unemployed?
18 Oct 2009Major U.S. cities ranked by their ratio of job postings to unemployed people. Looks like they update this regularly. Spotted over at SimpleComplexity.
International Housing Indicators
In: Global Economy Housing Innovative Interactive Source: Economist Updated regularly

Economic Recovery Dashboard (9/15/09 update)
In: Employment Finance Innovative Interactive Reference Updated regularly US Economy
15 Sep 2009Here is this month’s update of one of my favorite presentations of economic indicators, from Russell Investments. Includes trending, useful popups, drill down links to historical data, and good descriptions of each indicator. It’s really everything an economic dashboard should look like. (ok, maybe they could animate it over time.)
MSNBC Spectra Visual Newsreader
11 Sep 2009Yet another news aggregator visualization. But this one spins and is in color!! Ok, perhaps that’s a little snarky — there is some clever design here, but I question how useful it is – maybe if it was on a wall sized touchscreen or something.
Guantanamo Tracker
10 Sep 2009AP seems very into tracking things lately. thankfully they are doing it in interesting ways. This one shows Guantanamos population, and lists what is happening with each detainee as Guantanamo is phased out.
Live Storm Tracker
10 Sep 2009Kind of fun, with good roll-overs and animation; only shows current storms and projections. Click on the little hurricane icons around the sides of the map to shift to other storms.
Global Diseases
In: Global Economy Interactive Maps Science Updated regularly
10 Sep 2009A map of the “current global state of infectious diseases and their effect on human and animal health.” Filter by country, type of disease, etc. Spotted at Cool Infographics.
