New York's Skyscrapers Of Crime

The New York skyline on this map is dominated past times the city's skyscrapers of crime.

The NYC Felonies Map shows the rates of the 7 major felonies for each metropolis block inwards New York City. The felonies are shown at the core of each street segment past times stacking map markers for each felony. The taller the stack the to a greater extent than the crime.

The map stacks are essentially bar charts. I'm non commonly a fan of using bar charts on maps simply it genuinely industrial plant really good here. The normal occupation alongside placing bar charts on an interactive map is that the bars tin obscure the persuasion of the information to the northward behind the stacks to the south. This isn't a occupation on this map every bit you lot tin zoom inwards really closed on the map until all the marking stacks boot the bucket clearly visible.

The map could hold out improved all the same past times allowing users to filter the data. I'd similar to hold out able to choose the 7 felonies individually to encounter if at that topographic point are unlike criminal offence hot-spots for the unlike types of major felony.
