Modifying Leaflet Choropleth Map

Posted on

 

For this data visualization, the interactive choropleth map represents the US Population Density. What makes this map unique is that the user can hover over any state and get additional information, unlike Google Fusion where the user needs to click on the state to get information. From GitHub, I have modified the leaflet code by manipulating the height & width of the map, changing the color of the border outline to black when the user hovers over the state, and the width of the border boundaries. An interactive choropleth map is a useful visualization for Police Data and this allows me to be one step closer to creating a data visualization that tells a story of intimate partner violence.
