Created as Map 130/365 for the #365DaysOfMaps challenge. See the map design blog at mapdesign.icaci.org.
Allowance estimates were derived intelligently from modeled socioeconomic inputs and are rough estimates, not necessarily accurate reflections of true state averages.
Allowance data: uploaded modeled weekly allowance by state GeoPackage/CSV, joined to state geometries in the browser.
State geometry: Natural Earth 1:10m Admin-1 States/Provinces “without large lakes” dataset; public domain.
Library: D3.js for SVG rendering and Albers USA projection.
Projection: D3 composite Albers USA, preserving an Albers equal-area treatment for the contiguous U.S. with Alaska and Hawaii inset in the lower-left region.
