As data visualizations grow in popularity, researchers are investigating how users interact with these new ways of seeing information. Sociology and data-viz experts in the United Kingdom created the Seeing Data research project to study how people make sense of data visualizations, including these two interactives about human migration that were beautifully designed by the agency CLEVER°FRANKE. Migration in the News explores data gathered from eight years of 132,242 news items on the subject of migration, totaling over 100 million words. This interactive allows users to explore how the usage of the words “immigrant,” “migrant,” “refugee,” and “asylum seeker” changed over time, based on historical events, with a clear line graph of brilliant colors. Another feature, Migration in the Census, relies on quantitative data from the 2011 census. Interactive maps reveal statistics on immigrants’ regions of origin, ages, employment status, and year of arrival throughout the cities and towns of the United Kingdom. According to Seeing Data’s research, users rated this last visualization as one of its most informative and likable interactives.
