USA Gun Violence Scout

Crime Rate Scout is an web application that allows user to interactively explore the Gun violence happened between January 2013 and March 2018 within the Range of USA.

User could click a state on the USA MAP, and system would filter all incident by that clicked state, and visualizes them with coordinated view by showing Num of Victim on that clicked state.

Allow user to query the gun violence for a zip code within USA, and our system returns safest area in the neighborhood based on number of gun violence, renders the neighbor map with cartographic boundary for each zip code in the near by.

System Design

We use gun violence dataset From http://www.gunviolencearchive.org to build an Interactive Choropleth Map For USA. Using MongoDB for storing and querying the data, Based On Python, We use Flask to interacts with MongoDb. Front-end, we use D3.js, Dc.js and Crossfilter.js to build graph with interactivity.We use MapShaper to compress and simplify cartographic boundary dataset the use cartoDB to store cartographic boundary for every Zip Code in USA. And renders the map with cartographic boundary for a list of Zipcode nearby the zipcode that was queried by an user.
