An Atlas Of American Gun Violence

I recollect the days when every other interactive map was a visualization of Starbucks outlets across America. Unfortunately these days every other interactive map seems to live on a visualization of shootings inward the USA.

An Atlas of American Gun Violence maps 5 years of American gun violence, during which fourth dimension at that topographic point has been over 150,000 shootings. On the map cherry markers exhibit the locations of where at to the lowest degree i individual was killed as well as yellowish markers are used to exhibit the locations of non-fatal shootings. The atlas includes an interesting animated tour which introduces you lot to the map as well as explains roughly of the patterns inward American gun violence. You tin purpose the filter controls to stance shootings on the map past times year, past times fatal /non-fatal as well as past times type of shooting.

The map uses information from the Gun Violence Archive, which has been collecting gun violence information for the final 5 years. Vox's Mass Shootings Since Sandy Hook Map also uses the Gun Violence Archive to map all the incidents of volume shootings inward the USA. The Gun Violence Archive itself has a Charts as well as Maps department which includes a position out of static maps of their gun violence data. This includes a map of all 13,998 people killed past times guns inward the States as well as hence far this year.
