 1. What dataset will you use for your final report?  I will use a dataset by Statistics Canada titled, " Self-rated ability to speak or understand an Indigenous language by First Nations people living off reserve ." 2. Describe the dataset. What kind of data does it contain? This dataset contains information about how well Indigenous peoples living off reserve, speak an Indigenous language. The dataset can be split by province or territory, Indigenous identity (First Nations, Inuit, Métis, or other) age of respondents, and gender of respondents. Something important to note is that this data is self-rated, and all responses to how well the respondent speaks the language are of their own belief. The data is presented as both the original numbers and percentage points in reference to the total Indigenous population of the geographic area one is evaluating. Lastly, it is not obvious at first glance but there are subheadings for for rating ability to speak an Indigenous language....

This data visualization was created by Tamás Varga on Tableau, titled “ 2024 Paris Olympics Medal Race .” It showcases how many medals and what position each country was in, each day, over the course of this year’s summer Paris Olympics.  The strengths of this data visualization are that we can easily understand how many medals a country won at the Paris Olympics. It also has a good breakdown to compare the total gold, silver, and bronze medals won. Another positive of this visualization is that you’re able to search for a specific country, so you don’t have to look through the entire chart.  I find that it’s an interesting data visualization as it’s informative, creative, and interactive, however, too much information can also be the downfall of a good data visualization.  The weaknesses of this data visualization are that it’s too difficult to follow. The number of lines connecting from day to day are similar colours, making it confusing to follow along. Also, ...

Postal Code: V3Z 1G8 Census Tract:  9330182.07 Total Population:  2,400 Neighbourhood Description: The weird in-between of South Surrey and Panorama Ridge areas, from about Highway 10 to 32nd Avenue at its lowest point, and from Mud Bay to 184 Street. This is where I live.  1.  This neighbourhood has a lower population density than most.  The population density of this Census Tract is 60.4 per square kilometre, making it much lower than the 918 per square kilometre of the Vancouver census metropolitan area.  This data, while drastically different from that of the Vancouver CMA, is not surprising as a majority of the land in this census tract is farm land. 9.1% of residents in this neighbourhood work in the natural resources, agriculture and related production occupations, while only 1.3% do in the Vancouver CMA. In the census subdivision of Surrey, the population density is even higher then the Vancouver CMA, sitting at 1,797.9 per square kilometre....
