@patel0phone asked if i'd share the thought process behind the visual. challenge was to find an arresting way to bring users into the data within the limitations of a browser. (we removed the viz on mobile)
i went through several iterations of charting forms -- treemap, bubbles, bars, scatterplot w.different metrics as well as looking at a collection of graphics that i find visually interesting.
we landed with this bar chart arrayed around a circle.
a lot of what i try to do with my work is to push traditional charting forms into fresh presentation. if you're new to dataviz i'd recommend you learn the traditional charting forms first and understand those deeply before you try this at home.
it important to note this chart lives in context of all of the data -- including a straight bar chart within the table.
hope this helps. best of luck to you all!
