Data Vis Dispatch, November 26

Welcome back to the 170th edition of the Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we publish a collection of the best small and large data visualizations we find, especially from news organizations — to celebrate data journalism, data visualization, simple charts, elaborate maps, and their creators.

Recurring topics this week include elections, the lack of elections, and suspicious events at sea.

This week’s Dispatch is taking us to the moon!

And more great contributions to the #30daymapchallenge:

These maps in particular showed fishy goings-on at sea:

And these continued our unfortunately long-term section on war and conflict:

Environmental topics these week ranged from drought to coal to ocean trash:

Political charts covered elections and the lack thereof:

We continue with the intersection of politics and economics:

And a spotlight on the topic of healthcare costs:

Other charts included a retrospective on Rafael Nadal and the division between sitters and standers at work:

What else we found interesting
