Visualization

This dataset contains data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regional well-being initiative. The dataset contains information regarding the wellness of a country: each member State of the European Union is measured in eleven topics – income, jobs, housing, health, access to services, environment, education, safety, civic engagement and governance, community, and life satisfaction. A score has been calculated for each topic so that it is possible to compare places and topics within and across countries. The spatial coverage of the dataset are the European Union member states.

We chose to represent three main indicators of the wellness of a country: safety , access to services and health. We chose the bar graph as a visualization as it was easier to show comparisons among EU countries.
