Thanks! I am hoping to add a heat map. And yes the data is from Socrata's Open Data Platform API (https://nycopendata.socrata.com/Social-Services/Rat-Sightings/

  Have you considered a chloropleth[1]? Similar effect to a heat map but likely much easier to implement. Just shade each of your already defined regions by [sightings/area]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choropleth_map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choropleth_map

    I hadn't for this project - to be honest I didn't have a clear plan for this project, it was just something I threw together in a few hours for fun because I thought the dataset was amusing :) A chloropleth is a great idea though. If I find the time to improve this, I'll definitely keep that in mind!
