This repos is the result of work by Audi Ho, Elizabeth Ji, and Jake Zimmerman for the course 05-499: Visualization in HCI at Carnegie Mellon University in Spring 2017.
This project visualizes how affordable cities in the United States are for college graduates. Viewers are able to see an overview of college majors and their average salaries. Viewers are able to click through the majors, seeing the average rent for cities in the United States on a map. By selecting what percentage of the salary that a college graduate would like to contribute to rent, the viewer can see what cities are affordable for that major, and what cities are not.
Our process book can be found in the 'written' folder. All of our code and data can be found on the 'gh-pages' branch.
We take our data from: FiveThirtyEight's college major earnings dataset and Zillow's rental dataset.
