Using the Facebook Connectivity Index to Find The US Counties Most Connected to Countries Outside of the United States
by u/oscarleo0
Data source: Facebook Social Connectedness Index
Tools used: Python, Geopandas, and Matplotlib
I’ve created a post with additional information about the data in my free newsletter, Data Wonder.
I’ve
published a similar visualization before where I looked at how
connected counties are to each other. This time, I’m aggregating
connectivity values between US counties and countries other than the US.
The idea is to measure how well-connected they are to the outside
world.I’ve also updated the
visualization with better colors after feedback from Reddit, and I’m
using another font that I think looks great here.I hope you like it.
I appreciate all the feedback I can get, and you don’t need to sugarcoat it! 😀
