Dataviz links: Over time, across space

Great links for quick data dives:

  • The Historical Housing Prices Project gives rents and home prices from 1890 – 2006 for US cities. It’s based on newspaper listings and was led by Ronan C. Lyons, Allison Shertzer, and Rowena Gray. I’ve added Ronan’s blog, Time & Space, to the links below.
  • City Density displays and compares the population density of scores of world cities across their linear transects. I’ve added Aussie creator Jonathan Nelson’s substack to the links as well.
  • Human Terrain shows the same data, I believe, but in a 3D map format.
