Using this data, we created interactive d3.js maps to accompany the article. The final maps looked like this: ![]() Searching a county UI Exploration Legend: numerical scores didn't convey much information to the reader, so simpler language and a horizontal legend (optimized for mobile/desktop) were used. ![]() Legend layouts ![]() Color schemes for the three maps UX Considerations
