(1): This website could be potentially used for measuring the various demographics to compare states/regions and understand states/regions of the US. The website tracks useful info like the population of states to how much of each population is educated. It can essentially rank the states and help you discover where you would want to live. (2): The visualization of the website is extremely efficient and easy to use. Everything is color coded and easy to change stats. The color code goes up and down and tells you the rating of each state based on the information. You can also hover over a state to get the detailed states and know the actual statistics. One way it could be improved is the zooming with the mouse getting confused when you are just trying to scroll down to the options of the page. (3): The website collects data from nation and state reports, thematic briefs, interactive websites like DATA2GO.NYC, and the American Human Development Index. It all serves as an alternative to GDP. The data comes from many sources and is static as it would be updated only when new reports come out which are usually yearly and sometimes monthly. The source is definitely reputable as it is using real national and state reports as its data. (4): I consider this big data not only for the size its covering but also the the patterns and trends this tool showcases and discovers. The data is covering all of the US from its population down to poverty rate and brings it all together as one. It connects this data which revels patterns wwith population, education, health, and income. All of this relating to humans and how we live.
