Mapping Population Inward 3D
United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland developers Parallel convey released an interactive map which visualizes United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland population density inwards 3D. Their ONS Population Estimates map shows the population density inwards each United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) in addition to the historic catamenia breakdown of the population inwards each LSOA.
The population density thought on the map uses Mapbox GL's extrusion belongings to practise 3D towers on the map. The summit of the towers represents the population density of the LSOA. In other words the higher the tower thence the greater the population density.
If you lot switch to the 'Age Profile' selection thence you lot tin plough over notice thought a breakdown of the numbers inwards each historic catamenia grouping of both the manly individual & woman individual population inwards each LSOA. In this 'Age Profile' agency the map even thence shows a choropleth thought of the population density. However if you lot hover over an LSOA on the map thence you lot tin plough over notice thought a population pyramid nautical chart which visualizes the area's historic catamenia profile.
Mapbox has equally good used the extrusion belongings to visualize population density. Their Population Density Inspector allows you lot to thought the expose of people living inwards each census block inwards America equally a 3D tower.
On The Population Density Inspector the summit of each census block on the map represents the population density (based on census block population counts). You tin plough over notice read well-nigh how Mapbox created their map (with a piffling assistance from Turf.js in addition to Tippecanoe) on the Mapbox blog.
You don't convey to purpose Mapbox GL's extrusion belongings to map population density inwards 3D. Bjørn Sandvik has posted an interesting tutorial on how to purpose Three.js & D3.js to visualize population density inwards 3D. The tutorial includes a 3D map of Oslo's population density
The 2d tutorial inwards Mapping Grid-Based statistics using OpenLayers, Three.js in addition to D3.js provides a 3d visualization of Oslo's population data, alongside each grid's population density shown equally a 3D tower or block on the map. The tutorials inwards the postal service are inwards Norwegian simply the source code is available on GithHub in addition to should endure tardily to follow for anyone familiar alongside OpenLayers in addition to D3.js.
