quick map I made about a year ago of Yellowknife showing property tax revenue density

keep on going back to this one as a way to show benefits of denser/central neighbourhoods

wish we had more openly available property tax data like this across Canada

#maps #gis #qgis #yellowknife #urbanism

Map of Yellowknife coloured by property tax revenue per km2. The map highlights how the central, denser, downtown area has higher revenue / is more productive on a per area basis.

@nex @gvwilson

Yup data are from the Transportation Tomorrow Survey - a self reported survey from 2022/23

The code snippet to create the chart in R is here - github.com/schoolofcities/mini

I essentially created two charts, one for eastbound and one for westbound and then stitched them together in InkScape

Sorry for delay responding - I don't check my account super often

playing with dynamically generating bee-swarm plots in maplibre and d3 based on zoom-level

#maplibre #d3 #maps #dataviz #gis

two maps each showing clusters of points (bee-swarms) around three locations in toronto to compare relative amounts - the maps are at different zoom-levels/scales - but the clusters of points (bee-swarms) adjust their location to not overlap and remain distinguishable
