Data Vis Dispatch, September 26

Welcome back to the 112th 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.

The Dispatch will go on a break next week for German Unity Day, so take your time with this one — recurring topics include air pollution, local census data, and UAW strikes.

In the U.S., the United Auto Workers strike has expanded to 41 worksites in its second week:

In fact we saw lots of charts on economic topics in general, especially related to labor issues and interest rates:

The climate topics of the week were air pollution and wildfire:

And we also saw charts and maps on the full range of possible climate solutions and non-solutions:

Two great stories this week used census data to look at local population trends:

There were maps on the progress of Ukraine’s counteroffensive and on the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh:

And on guns and gun violence in America:

Other charts looked at everything from undecided voters to the 2023 Asian Games:

Finally, maps on corporate networking and Indian metro systems:
