What’s The Story?
The below graph is the 2010 Quality of Life Index filtered for Cost of Living.
I haven’t validated the scale, although it appears to be 1 – 100, nor do I have any idea where the data comes from. But if you can keep yourself from being too distracted by that, take a moment to engage with the image. Note that Iraq is the darkest green, indicating the highest cost of living.
The most important component of this data (of any data) is not simply the statement “Iraq has the highest cost of living”, but the story that should be told from that statement. “Iraq has the highest cost of living because they’ve been at war for 10 years and bread is really really expensive.”
What other stories can be told from this data?
