Assignment 8

The two data visualizations below present the same date in very different ways. Both aim to give a geographical visualization of individuals over the age of 25 in given Connecticut Counties who reported never graduated High School. The first shows a more narrow spectrum of the data by only separating the various percentages of those not graduating high school into two different categories, while the second visualization shows three different categories in color all of which are similar. The first would suggest these counties are very different and divided, while the second would suggest they are very alike. One has to be a lie, so this would suggest that we’ve accomplished our goal in lying with maps.
