Batman Villains

A visualization just for fun…

The 1966-68 Batman TV series was one of my favorite growing up. I ran to the TV twice a week in hopes that Catwoman (played by Julie Newmar) would be the villain! While still only a preteen, I didn't get the parodies and social commentary the show was making. Viewing it as an adult is much like viewing episodes of the Road Runner… there is an entirely different level of understanding to the dialog. While doing my research, I found it interesting that there were only 120 episodes. Far fewer than I remembered, but many more than the 79 episodes of my favorite series Star Trek.

This visualization uses data blending from 3 different datasets. Interactive actions have been created to assist users with filtering.

Where are the banks failing?

Although not as prevalent, the FDIC continues to close banks. Below is data obtained from data.gov which provides a look at where banks are failing. Rank can be interactively changed to reflect total number per state or by per capita failures by population. Click on the state bar graph to filter both the map and detail sheets.

The Atlanta Tableau Users Group (ATUG)

One of my favorite times of the month is taking a half-day and going to the Atlanta Tableau Users Group meetings. Typically held at Norfolk Southern in Atlanta, the meetings are always informative and keep me motivated with my Tableau projects. If you haven't come to a meeting, I would most definitely encourage you to join us on the 3rd Thursday of each month. To learn more or to register (it's free), go to Tableau's community website at http://community.tableausoftware.com/groups/atlanta.

U.S. Cancer Incident Rates

This visualization was inspired by the recent opening of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan, Georgia. The dataset was obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC, and the National Cancer Institute. Hovers and interactive filtering may be used to drill-down to granular information. The U.S. map is composed of 3 separate worksheets which display Alaska, Hawaii, and the continental US. Combining 3 worksheets using Tableau 8’s new floating object type mitigates the entire North American Continent from being displayed.

Leadership Coweta Healthcare Team uses Tableau Visualization during graduation presentation.

The Leadership Coweta Healthcare Team used the visualization below to document how current healthcare providers are distributed throughout the City of Newnan. Ultimately, they would like a commission to document all healthcare providers throughout Coweta County... possibly finding areas of opportunity. Thanks to the members of the Healthcare Team which include Anna Simelane, Charli Smith, Hasco Craver, Melissa Orme, and Jeffery Smith for compiling this data.

Chick-fil-a Milestones & US Meat Consumption

I really admire the Chick-fil-a organization and thought I’d bump their yearly milestones against a 70-year history of U.S. meat consumption. This presented me with an “ah-ha” moment! Now we find the real reason that chicken consumption soared after 1977... the introduction of freshly squeezed lemonade!
