Visualize Data
Charts, maps and embeds built from the whole data family.
The chart and map layer for climatedata, economicdata, electiondata and the other sites: ready-made visualizations, embeddable charts and shared map boundaries.
What you get
-
Plain files over HTTPS
Ready-made files at stable paths. No key or signup.
-
Versions you can cite
Every update gets a version id, and a pinned URL always returns the same data. The first version of each month is kept for good, so results stay reproducible.
-
Checked before publishing
Each update is validated against its contract. If a check fails, the last good version stays live.
-
Licenses up front
Every dataset names its source, its license, the exact credit line and whether commercial use is allowed.
Datasets
All 1 datasets-
Map boundaries
GeoJSON boundaries for US states, counties and 119th Congress congressional districts (Census 2025 cartographic boundary files at 1:20m and 1:5m) and world countries (Natural Earth 1:110m and 1:50m). Every feature's id is the location id the rest of the family uses (us-ca, us-county-06037, usa), so a map joins to any dataset by id. index.json lists every layer with its source, vintage and caveats.
