Čia gali sužinoti kokia dalis žmonių iš tavo savivaldybės išvyko gyventi į kitas Lietuvos savivaldybes.
Arba jei esi iš Neringos, Palangos, Vilniaus ar Kauno – kokia dalis atvyko.
Šis grafikas parodo kiek lietuvių gyvena užsienio šalyse ir atvirkščiai – jis nerodo srauto, t.y. migracijos.
Stebina tai, kad Rusijoje ir Lenkijoje gyvena daugiau lietuvių nei Norvegijoje ar Airijoje.

In the Northern hemisphere the summer is warmer than the winter (i.e. normal), in the Southern hemisphere the winter is warmer than the summer (i.e. Australian), around the equator there is not much difference during the year.
What: The difference between monthly mean temperature and annual mean temperature.
When: Some weather stations have data since the XVIII century.
Where: All the weather stations in the world binned at each 10th latitude. Only stations with full-year datasets used in calculations.

The question arises because we’re having Climate Change and not Global Warming.
Only 6 weather stations in the world have a statistically significant negative temperature trend since 2000.
Most of them are located around the equator, one is in Antarctica.
There are 391 weather stations that have at least 5 full years of data since 2000 and which have a significant trend (p-value is less than 5%).
In 385 of those stations, the temperature is rising.
When: 2000 January – 2020 December.
Where: Weather stations that have at least 5 full years of data during the period in question and have a significant regression coefficient (p-value < 5%).

ASEAN is an economic union of Southeast Asian countries. From 1999 to 2019 it experienced considerable growth becoming the 5th largest economy in the world if we count the EU as one unit as well.
Indonesia is the biggest country in the union, but all of them contribute to growth, most growing their GDP by more than 5% a year during 1999-2019 with the only exception being Brunei.
For comparison: the annual average growth in the EU was 1,6% a year and in China, it was 9,0% during the same period. The current composition of the EU was used for the calculations.

Africa is made up of more than 50 countries, most of them are poor compared to the rest of the world. If Africa were one country it would be the 8th largest economy in the world.
This chart is made without any numbers intentionally, they’d distract from the message. The ranking of the countries in the donut chart is “Algeria first”.

There are variety of tools to do dataviz and for someone who is just starting it is quite difficult to select which one to learn. One possible criteria might be whether this tool is used by professions focused on dataviz. R is focused on statistical analysis, Excel on spreadsheets, and python might be used for everything. So what is the tool which dedicated dataviz professionals use? The conclusion is that there is no such tool, because dataviz is more like a skill useful in many cases (financial reporting, UX design, journalism, etc.) rather than a profession by itself.
This is my submission to the Data Visualization Census Survey 2020 Challenge by Data Visualization Society a bit updated from the original based on comments by the jury. Visit their site to see the winners!
