New Super at 60 Turner Place – UPDATE

After Pin-up feedback, I’ve updated the visualization to incorporate the following items:
1) Lead with the main point about the hiring of Felix.
2) Consolidate complaint types into fewer categories.
3) Use few colors to eliminate visual clutter.
4) Combine the Maintenance and Total Annual Area Graphs into one to allow for better comparison.
5) Use larger font sizes (although not feedback to my project, this was gleaned from positive reaction to another project).

Data editing work was required to consolidate complaint types. First I sorted by 311 Complaint Type and Descriptor. Then I added a new column and typed a single word to describe the complaint. Some liberties were taken in this coding, for example when I decided that “elevators” were “appliances”, which may or may not be correct, but I can justify it and creating additional complaint categories would not have benefited the visualization.

Complete description of the project is contained in the original Blog Post below.
