There’s been lots of complaining from Andy about DS18’s feedback to the challenges this week, but here we go into another whirlwind adventure of data, complaining and timestamps.
9:11 – Successfully added some sass to the blog
Now to look at the data.
There are 3 tables, one contains a lot of data on the sociodemographic side while the other 2 contain Year 6 & Reception obesity rates over time. There is a preference for them to use Year 6, but you are welcome to explore either.
okayyyyy, obesity data and sociodemographic data.
- All the data is a row per LSOA – These are UK statistical areas used and defined during the census, they are approx. 1000 people. It should be noted that some data has been aggregated down, and that explains the duplicates. This is from MSOA, which is the next level of the Hierarchy. LSOAs fit perfectly into MSOA, and can be traced to each other. For example, Southwark 003A (LSOA) is within Southwark 003 that is within Southwark. All the data is within England.
Cool
- Within the Viz for Social good Table, all columns are different fields. Whereas the obesity data, each field is a year. The fields are all explained in the corresponding data dictionary that is also attached
109 fields and 32k rows in the viz for social good table. This is the social demographic stuff and it’s broken down by LSOA.
- The data is 170,000 rows by 118 Columns. The Obesity data is 7000 by 42. The obesity data currently contains a few different measurements for years though
There aren’t 170k rows? There’s 32k. Also only 109 columns.
- The Main sociodemographics data’s years are all in the Data Dictionary, it should be noted that these don’t really matter as they are the most up to date version of those that exist currently.
Cool
- All the data is CSV.
Nice
9:45 – Yikes, how is it 9:45
We are definitely going to have to factor in how much time it takes to chat to these applicants (they are interviewing here all day).
I think I will ignore the time series data, and so just focus on the sociodemographic data, which includes obesity).
Look at all these fields!

I’m imaging a long dashboard that every 1000 pixels or so is some kind of vizualistion, including actions and buttons where needed, but each section acting as it’s own part.
10:30 – Had a great chat with an interviewee but wow I need to stop (no time)
11:05 – Okay I’ve got a map, I think it’s tableau time
it’s can show MSOA, LAD or RGN but it’s still a bunch of msoa polygons. Good enough.
13:09 – Fast forward to now
I’ve eaten a MASSIVE burrito and I am feeling plump. Mitosis may begin shortly. I have a long dashboard with some sort of title part.
And then some unfinished other bits below it
14:24 – I’ve spent lots of time making things pretty
16:56 – Oh hello
I’M DONE
TODAY WAS AN INTENSE VIZZING SESSION INDEED
ENJOY MY DASHBOARD
THANKS FOR COMING
