The best of last week’s big and small data visualizations
Welcome back to the 18th edition of Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we’ll be publishing 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 inflation, fossil fuels, and housing.
