About

I'm Eric Ness, a programmer in Washington, DC, and a computer science PhD candidate at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England, researching the overlap of machine learning, remote sensing and environmental data. I built visualizedata.org to draw public data plainly, on top of a family of open data sites I also run, including climatedata.dev and economicdata.dev, with satellite imagery from satellitedata.net. When I'm not programming, I like to travel, write music and eat popcorn. I write at eric.ness.net, and you can also find me on GitHub and Bluesky.

The site

visualizedata.org draws public indicators for countries, states and counties from the publishers' own numbers. Sources lists where every figure comes from and how it is checked.
