“Poll: Where do you live?” Visualized

Erm.... when representing geospatial data, better to use maps.

Hate to say it, but I'm not sure this type of visualization is ideal for this data. Given that the actual clustering is meaningless, I would think a simple histogram would expose the relationship between the different cities better.

My mind could be changed if this exposed a hierarchy, for example if the US was a single bubble which could be clicked-into. Or if there was a meaning behind the clustering, like if geographic proximity determined how close the bubbles were.

I made a little map visualization using the great Datawrapper tool on the front page:

note: there are a few inaccuracies. 7 people from "Vatican City" weren't counted because it wasn't recognized as a country. 3-4 people listing "Remote" or "Nomad" each were left of the map. I summed the counts from US states into one number using my poor JS skills, hopefully i got that right. Of course there may be other mistakes I don't know about :)

Needs a bar graph or simply a sorted table. That should be sufficient.

Nice visual - the poll text was long and unwieldy
