Day 11/100: When geography lies about votes 🗳️

Romania 2019 Presidential Elections dashboard. Obsessed with cartograms - maps where size = data, not geography.

Data: #QGIS + Spatialite joining ANCPI geometries + electoral data. 3,186 voting stations → municipality. Fixed București Siruta codes. #Svelte + #D3js dashboard.

Why: București tiny on map, massive in votes. Distortion becomes information.

Been creating more constituency-based maps/datasets.

Here's the JRF's analysis of the proportion of the working-age population in receipt of health-related social security: https://constituencies.open-innovations.org/themes/health/health-related-social-security/

I've attempted to create a hex map showing the number of NHS (equivalent) dentists by constituency for the whole of the UK: https://constituencies.open-innovations.org/themes/health/dentists/ This adds in data for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

A pair of cartograms from the 1906 UK General Election. Seen framed on the wall of Bromley House Library.

I made a hex map of dentists by constituency (England & Wales): https://constituencies.open-innovations.org/themes/health/dentists/

The NHS data file doesn't seem to say which of the NHS dentists are accepting new NHS patients though.

After doing the East of England and getting Lon-done, I've started arranging ward hexes for a few local authorities in the South East. But I'm tired.

Do any fans of wards (or cartograms) from the South East want to help by arranging some of those local authorities?

If so, here's the link for arranging hexes https://open-innovations.org/projects/hexmaps/editor/?https://open-innovations.github.io/uk-wards-2024/E12000008.hexjson&labels=true

It can be useful to have my ward map visible on your screen too https://open-innovations.github.io/uk-wards-2024/wards.html
