Monthly Mortality Rates in England and Wales

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week let’s look at the mortality rate trend in England and Wales. The data is from ONS with monthly age-standardized morality rate by sex and location (England and Wales).

My Visualization

I also plot the collisions on the map, with monthly trend and weekday x hour heatmap which can also serve as the filters.


Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.
