What does "average value" of GDP mean?

Yes the bubble size represents per capita income. I made that choice because I felt it strengthened the visual value of the correlation. But I can understand the argument for using pop size instead.

Indeed, having miles driven would be interesting, or maybe total length of the road network which might easier to find.

Yes that also counts as a road traffic fatality in the source study.

Good reminder! Always important when using scatter plots.

P.S: repost as the first submission was missing the y axis' legend :)

Sorry, I should have used another label. Internationally, most countries do it on May 1st based on the International Workers’ Day 🙂(https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/labor-day)

Yeah, and October in general is not packed with public holidays!

On which days do nations have their public holidays? I was wondering if nations tended to cluster along certain dates and time periods when it comes to public holidays. I made a calendar heatmap of the public holidays of the UN member states in 2022.
The 3 most celebrated public holidays, based on the gregorian calendar, are:
- New Year's Day (Jan 1st): public holiday in 156 countries.
- Christmas (Dec 25th): public holiday in 121 countries.
- Labor Day (May 1st): public holiday in 121 countries.

There’s an interesting chart in the source article (imho) but unfortunately it doesn’t show up in the link preview :)

Ah ah, it's 14% of the survey's respondents.

At first glance, I thought it was a pattern that includes most "New Year's Resolutions" type of searches. But it looks like my intuition was wrong. By the way, I found some data saying that "stop smoking" is one the least popular resolutions.

​

>For 2023, the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found some resolutions to be more common than others, with the most popular goals including:
Improved mental health (45%)
Improved fitness (39%)
Lose weight (37%)
Improved diet (33%)
Improved finances (30%)
>
>
Less popular resolutions include stop smoking (14%), learn a new skill (12%) and make time for hobbies (11%). Notably, Gen Z is more likely to prioritize improved mental health as a 2023 resolution than any other generation (50%).

I thought the "how to stop smoking" trend line would be similar but that's not the case. Interesting!

Didn't now any of these artists apart from Drake and Taylor Swift. r/dataisbeautiful as music discovery tool, learned something today :)

Looks like each big drop is tied with each major conflict Russia was involved in at its borders (Georgia in 2008, Ukraine/Crimea in 2014, and Ukraine/Donbas in 2021). Pretty steep. Interesting to note that recovery to previous levels only happened after the 2008 slump, never after.

I installed the app because they kept bugging me with popups asking me to install the app. It was easier to submit than to resist. I use the app when I'm on the go.
