House Prices to Income
In: Housing US Economy
13 Jan 2010The following chart shows the ratio of U.S. housing prices to income for various major cities from 1989-2009. If we say bubbles exists in cities where that ratio is more than two standard deviations outside its long-run average, we still have residential real estate bubbles in Seattle, Portland, New York and Miami. On the other hand, bubble condition no longer exist in Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco (!).

Supreme Court History
12 Jan 2010Comprehensive visualization of the US Supreme Court. It works best as an office poster, obviously – and can be purchased that way for your lawyer friends. It’s the first project from TimePlots – I look forward to more good things from them in the future
Auto Charts
12 Jan 2010The UNEP GEO Data Portal has recently automated some chart production with a custom Illustrator script, for cross-country comparison purposes. The below example is for total CO2 emissions vs per capita. While I really like the waveform-type display aesthetically, I’m not sure of it’s analytical value compared to a bar chart.
It works a little better here (Total Final Energy Consumption):

12 Jan 2010Based on Freedom House’s 2010 survey.
Caffeine Delivery Vehicles
11 Jan 2010I don’t think most people realize that coffee usually has more than twice the caffeine of a Red Bull.
As much as I dislike pie charts, I like the simple information here and the popup detail mediates somewhat the radial perception issues.
Netflix Map
10 Jan 2010Most rented and least rented movies in major metro areas. Roll over to view details by zipcode. Clearly contains some errors though. Benjamin Button was No1 and True Blood season 1 was 47? Thanks to Jack Lucky for pointing it out.
Recession Unemployment
9 Jan 2010Something different is going on.
2010 House Elections
