Showing statistical overviews of datasets is often helpful in providing context before drilling to details. Linked Micromaps have been primarily used so to show overviews based on US statistical summaries with many featuring environmental and health statistics. This poster features data from China. The example below shows the gender ratio for China provinces in 2000 and 2010. The imbalance is problematic. The design creates small perceptual groups of four or fewer provinces to focus attention and to limit the number of colors used to link province names to their locations. This is helpful for those not familiar with China's provinces. Sorting the 2010 ratios provides a ranking of provinces. Cumulative highlighting of provinces based their ranks provides spatial patterns that can be informative. Access to statistics from China's provinces and large cities will get easier over time. Concerns about air pollution have led to increased monitoring and reporting of statistics. The poster will include other available statistics related to house price for selected cities.
