Data Visualization

Our data visualization resources offer a variety of options to help understand the significance of key health indicator data by placing it in a visual context. Patterns, trends, and associations that may otherwise go undetected or overlooked can be clearly exposed and communicated with an effective visualization approach. The Centers’ data visualization collection includes a range of resources from simple infographics to interactive dashboards that enable users to customize products based on specific needs.
