I came across this the day after we watched Black '47 which was set in Ireland in 1847, just three years before this animated graph starts. I think a static graph would do a better job of portraying this information, but maybe that's just me. It's interesting how there seem to be waves of immigrants from one country and then another. Italy, Germany and Ireland are well represented in the early years. Mexico has been the biggest lately.
But a static graph would only show that year or couple years so you'd need pages of them.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a bar for every year, a single point in a line would suffice. Now you might have some problems with scale for the recent years, but I think we could deal with it.
