What works well?
- Including the data sources
- Labeling each mark, otherwise we'd have no idea what each thing means
What could be improved?
- The title is wrong; it should say hours per month.
- 3-D bars are never a good idea putting them on a map is even worse.
- The color legend doesn't help interpret the chart at all.
- It's overly difficult to find a city; the labels aren't even near most of the cities.
- The whole thing is terrible. Start over!
What I did
- I took the map and turned it into a ranked bar chart.
- I put the bars in descending order by the number of hours per month needed to work to pay afford a home.
- I split the bars into four columns so that they would all fit in one view. I learned this from Workout Wednesday Week 47 2017.
- I added a highlighter on the bottom right (intentionally out of the way) so that you can find a city in the rankings.
- I ignored all of the other metrics.
With that, here's my Makeover Monday for week 47 2018.
