In this lab, I used U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) data to explore social and economic patterns across counties in Mississippi. The goal of this analysis is to understand differences in graduate degree and employment across counties, and to visualize these patterns using both static and interactive graphics. This project also demonstrates how different types of data (percentages vs. raw counts) require different visualization approaches. I created three main outputs: a static margin-of-error plot, an interactive version of the same plot, and a map visualization to show geographic patterns in employment.
