[OC] Animated bar chart race: GDP per capita by country 1960-2024 | Data visualization

November 12, 2025

I've created an animated visualization showing 64 years of global wealth transformation. The animation reveals significant changes in country rankings, from oil boom stories to pandemic-era growth patterns.

Data source: World Bank GDP per capita data (1960-2024)
Tools used: Own Web App in React + D3.js
Video: YouTube Video Link

The visualization uses smooth transitions to show how economic power shifted between nations over six decades.

[OC] Animated bar chart race: GDP per capita by country 1960-2024 | Data visualization

[OC] I found about 47,000 US Streets that include names of US States (eg, “Texas St”). There are ~94 streets that include “North Dakota”, but none of them are in North Dakota. Other states frequently use their own name.

Before mobiles, Kerala’s fishermen in India sold their catch wherever they docked, some markets overflowed while others had none. Then phones came along. They started calling ahead, finding better prices, cutting waste, and everyone won. One simple change made the whole system smarter [OC]

Which day of the week is the least expensive to fly? [OC]
