US Population Non Contiguous Cartogram

|

I was wondering how difficult it would be to create a non contiguous cartogram in QGIS. Not too difficult although it would be neat if you could do it automatically with data based formatting but that option isn't yet available for the transform option. Still I'm happy with the results.

Move to Minnesota for a Long Life

The median age of a man👨 in United States is 36.1 while the median age of women 👩 is 38.8 — women are nearly 3 years older on average compared to men.

This is largely due to the fact that men die earlier then women ⚰ — the median death age for men in our country is 76 years, while the median death age for women is 81 years.

The best state to live in for a long life is Minnesota 🐄 — men die there on average at 79 years, while women live until 83. In Hawaii though, women last even longer — the median life expectancy for women in Hawaii is nearly 85 years. 🏖

Median Income Distribution by State

When you look at Census Tracts in Vermont, you will notice that most of them are close to $60k for the medium household income, with it tapering off quickly in both directions. Connecticut on the other hand, has some very wealthy and very poor census tracts, and a few exceptionally wealthy ones.
