USAToday Economic Outlook Index
In: Finance Housing Interactive Reference Source: USA Today Updated regularly US Economy
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)

10 Jun 2009(Sorry there haven’t been many updates lately – I’m on vacation in the Colorado mountains.) Here is a infographic from Barry Ritholtz’s book Bailout Nation that does a great job showing the different causes of the crash, and how they developed over time:

Death Odds, 1845-2006
31 May 2009A great animated chart showing the likelihood of dying at different ages over the years. I would think demographic data like this would be ripe for interesting visualizations. Nice job understandinguncertainty.org!
Two earlier posts/versions (one & two) don’t go back as far, but include the detailed explanation and some additional breakdown by risk factors.
ps – this data is for the UK.
pps – the same site conducts a similar analysis of Charles Minard’s famous infographic of Napolean’s 1812 campaign (odds of dying as the campaign goes on), as well as a cool animated bubble heat map of the size and location of the army:

Federal Home Loan Bank Investments
In: Finance Housing US Economy
29 May 2009Worrisome analysis from SubsidyScope:
“The Federal Home Loan Banks, or FHLBs, may be the biggest financial players you’ve never heard of. Collectively, they hold $1.3 trillion in assets and are the largest U.S. borrower after the federal government.
A Subsidyscope review of the FHLBs’ financial statements has found that several of the banks are carrying substantial “unrealized losses” on their investments in mortgage-backed securities. [.]
What’s potentially worrisome is the sheer size of the losses. For the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, they are substantially larger than the capital the bank holds to protect itself against such declines.”
SubsidyScope Bailout Visualizations
29 May 2009Created by the Pew Charitable Trusts, SubsidyScope.com has some interesting visualizations, and looks to be a great resource for tracking these issues going forward. The blog on the front page is great as well.
