Lazaro Gamio for Axios used Chernoff Faces that look like emojis.
This visualization is a modified version of Chernoff Faces, a technique that maps multiple statistical values to the features of a face. Because it’s 2017, we expanded on the technique and made Chernoff Emojis. Each part of the emoji is controlled by the state’s ranking in a given metric, which range from the uninsured rate to the percent of adults who report getting enough sleep.
Fun.
The above is the desktop version, but I actually like the mobile version better, which shows face transitions between states.
