Cost of Living Index by US States: Dynamic Visualization

I created a dynamic visualization of the 2022 Cost of Living Index by US States, showcasing the minimum, average and maximum values. The data was sourced from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center.

To make the visual more engaging, I used state colors for Hawaii and Minnesota, and for Mississippi, I drew inspiration from the state flag.

Creating Powerful Visualizations with R - Only 9 Lines of Code

I downloaded international flight data from Openflight.org for January 2017 and created compelling visualizations based on the flight frequency by country using only 9 lines of R code. My goal was to achieve both effectiveness and efficiency in my visualizations.

My YoY CPI Meter

I created a meter visual for the YoY CPI change based on the historical year-over-year (YoY) Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures from 2013-01-01 to 2019-12-31 (Approx. Pre COVID-19 in the US).
