Examples of Fiscal Data Visualisations

This spreadsheet contains a collection of over 230 data visualisations about public finances from media organisations, journalists, civil society organisations, advocacy groups, civic hackers, companies and public institutions. In order to build the collection I started with a collection of projects derived from another study mapping “open budget data” on digital media (Gray, 2015). Over 65% of the 120 fiscal data projects identified through the study used visualisations to present information about public finances. Examples were also incorporated from other lists, including relevant items from a database of 466 projects from The Guardian and the New York Times from between 2000 and 2015 (Rooze, 2015), as well as from expert data visualisation blogs such as Infosthetics and Visual Complexity. Further examples were solicited from expert mailing lists, forums and targeted outreach via email and social media. Analyses of the data visualisations are forthcoming in several publications. The collection will continue to be updated periodically. If you have suggestions for projects to add, please get in touch: http://jonathangray.org/contact/ References Gray, J.
