Here is the #visualization that I was writing about yesterday. It's showing data by the #UN about immigrants/emigrants to/from all countries to/from all countries in 5-year intervals. What do you think? https://fingolas.eu/projects/migration/MigrationMap.html #migration #DataIsBeautiful #data @dataisbeautiful

  • @@mho@social.heise.de this is absolutely fantastic. i even found the data source!  :clapping_hands: just one further idea: is it possible to show a diff of im- and emigration per country?

    @mho@social.heise.de @dataisbeautiful Very nice, easy to use. Some suggestions: the arrow heads often are too big and obscure the destination countries when they are small. On Firefox hovering over a country name in the lists shows both the regular tooltip and the CSS-formatted one, overlapping. The map projection used is a bit stretched it seems.

    @mho@social.heise.de What is the significance of the asterisks next to some country names? I couldn't find an explanation.

    @mho@social.heise.de @dataisbeautiful the preferences revealed are similar to my own. As an emigrant from USA, my first choice was Germany, though I am now in Canada. If the choice were driven purely by data, I might look for lowest net migration and highest birth rate.

    @mho@social.heise.de @dataisbeautiful Australia had 8,110,501 immigrants in 2024? Am I misreading it somehow? Edit: It's "immigrant stocks", not the number of people who immigrated in that year.
