#TidyTuesday week 38 - Average share of green areas across cities 🌳🌳 Four Indian cities, four different paths for urban green cover. #DataVisualization #UrbanGreening #Rstats

Leaf pictograms compare urban green cover in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi across five years. Bengaluru rises by 2020; the other cities’ latest readings are below 1990. 2025 data is missing for Bengaluru and Delhi.

I'll update the starter pack. I'm looking for accounts that are posting dataviz regularly. It is not a who's who, it is not meant to bring followers, it doesn't surface rare posters. Its purpose is to bring dataviz content to its subscribers. Suggestions?

Does a #TidyTuesday contribution still count if there’s no code, no data, and not a single ggplot() in sight? 😄 another contribution for Week 35 World Castles, I used pen and ink and drew the Tower of London instead. Still technically a visualization… right? #DataViz

Hand-drawn black ink sketch of the Tower of London on white paper, with detailed castle walls, towers, windows, trees, and light hatching for texture. Below the drawing, handwritten text reads “#TidyTuesday Week 35 – World Castles, Fortresses & Palaces,” followed by “Tower of London” and “Drawing – Deepali Kank.”

Every day, India's Met department publishes a forecast chart for ~1,200 stations. Their cloud-cover panel is drawn to look like a pixelated cloudy sky! I've been analyzing the charts to convert them to data, and map them daily in the same pixel art style. #dataviz diagramchasing.fun/2026/mapping...

Day 2 of the #30DayChartChallenge 📊🎵 For the pictogram prompt, I explored what Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 songs have sung about from Aug. 4, 1958 to Jan. 11, 2025 using the Billboard Hot 100 Number Ones Database. #DataViz #Billboard #MusicData

Alt text:

A pictogram chart titled “What Billboard No. 1 songs keep singing about.” It shows the lyrical topics of Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 songs from Aug. 4, 1958 to Jan. 11, 2025, with one musical note representing about 15 songs. The three largest categories are Lust/Sex with 271 songs (20.8%), Love with 269 (20.7%), and Lost Love with 252 (19.4%), showing that romantic themes dominate chart-topping hits. Smaller categories include Longing for Love, Bad Relationships, Dancing, Bragging, Partying, Empowerment, Death, Badassery, and Infidelity. The chart uses black music-note icons on a light background, with counts and percentages aligned on the right and example songs listed under each topic.
