Figure 5. Combine View lets users analyze a) a combination of one or more binning methods by visualizing b) the most consistent Bin, c) the frequency of the most consistent Bin, and d) both together for each U.S. county in separate choropleths. The new, resiliency binning method then utilizes this information to g) determine “resilient” bins (counts, intervals) that are also visualized in a choropleth. Hovering any county on the map shows a tooltip with relevant information about the county, as shown in e) and f).

New article! A fantastic new tool Exploropleth: exploratory analysis of data binning methods in choropleth maps, from @arpitnarechania.bsky.social Alex Endert & Clio Andris doi.org/10.1080/1523... #GISchat website exploropleth.github.io video of the tool in action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNV8...

Please get in touch (DM me or a coauthor) if you use it in your classes (please please) or want to do some dev work!

Different maps that show life expectancy by county in the U.S., where the data is divided using different data binning methods.

Hi data people, check out Exploropleth! exploropleth.github.io/exploropleth/. It's free, open source software that shows how binning methods affect maps. There's also a teaching worksheet and a journal article in CaGIS: exploropleth.github.io
