29 Jun 2009Ok, obviously it’s NY Fed day at ChartPorn. Interactive PDF files (click on events to jump to more details) provide a detailed list of policy actions and events. It is supposedly updated the 1st of every month.
There is both a domestic version, organized by Fed Policy Actions/Market Events/Other Policy Actions:
And an international (G7) version, organized by Bank Liability Guarantees/Liquidity and Rescue Interventions/Other Market Interventions:
From the NY Fed. Data available by county.
Produced by the NY Fed, this is an interactive map of non-prime mortgages. You can zoom down by zip code, view either the current or 6 month change, and pick from an assortment of loan-type indicators.
I missed this back in march but just spotted a reference at Infographics. The NYT took 120 years of immigration data and threw it perfectly at a map – you can filter by country of origin, then move through time with the slider.
I don’t watch the show but if you’re a fan or just plain confused, here’s a well done interactive character org-chart:
Spotted on Infographics.
WSJ article on visible symptoms of many diseases. The accompanying graphic is aesthetically pleasing, but a little disappointing info wise.
Two part interactive toy from AP. The first one takes you on a cool animated walk through the 5 point Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale, simulating the amount of damage along the way. The second maps out the path and category of every hurricane from 1851-2009.
ooops: Missed one, though it’s separate from the others… It includes a map of the empty homes in Florida (from foreclosures, amongst other causes) and animates the types of different types of damage a hurricane can cause (click along the top):
Homicide data cut, chopped, sorted, and mapped in all kinds of interesting ways (especially if you live in NYC). Supposedly will be updated regularly. Related article. Hat-tip to Information aesthetics for the find.
This interactive map provides obscene amount of information on the structure and composition of the United States electrical grid, including breakdowns by type of power (wind, solar, etc), info roll-overs, potential alternative capacity, and proposed upgrades. Related article(s).

16 Jun 2009AP added to an already good interactive chart this month – you can now click through different periods with the slider at the bottom. 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. Double click on a region to zoom in; click&hold to move around.
The Economist is getting fancy with its daily chart – this one if animated and includes audio commentary.

11 Jun 2009USA Today and IHS Global Insight have created a new USA economic outlook index based on 11 “leading” indicators. The interactive charts are very well done, with roll-over data point info, and an explanation of what each indicator means. Notes at the bottom of the page describe how the methodology differs from the Conference Board’s “leading indicators”. They plan to update it monthly. USAtoday has come a long way from the crappy charts they used to produce (ok, a lot of them are still crappy – but this one’s damn good).
(note: I spotted this one because Utah has crappy newspapers and my only option for any actual news of the world was USAToday)
