Chris Whong, owner of Federal Hill-based Charm City Networks who’s presently completing a master’s degree in urban planning at New York University, has created a time-lapse, animated heatmap chronicling Baltimore city’s homicides from 2007 through September 2012.
The data Whong used comes from Cham Green, who has compiled Baltimore city’s homicide data on her own since 2007. She shared her work in downloadable .CSV files during gb.tc‘s Groundwork event in late September.
As the visualization and the raw data show, there are higher concentrations of homicides in East and West Baltimore.
Aside from this homicide heatmap, Whong’s most recent data-mapping project was an interactive map of how Marylanders voted on the state ballot questions during November’s election.
