Equal-size hex tiles with category color and icons

Includes: map/table toggle · 3 summary stats · map labels

Data you need

  • A place or boundary identifier that matches U.S. states.
  • A category for each tile, such as the leading occupation, industry, or technology.
  • A numeric value for the exact label, plus an optional compact icon for each category.
  • A title, units, source, and short note explaining definitions or limitations.

How to make a similar map

  1. Prepare one row per mapped place and match it to U.S. states; use stable geographic codes when available.
  2. Upload the CSV and confirm the location and value fields in Data check. Remove duplicates or unmatched rows before continuing.
  3. Choose the hex tile map, assign a category and compact icon to each tile, and keep the numeric value as the exact label.
  4. Add labels, stat cards, and source notes only where they aid interpretation. Use the map/table toggle when both views matter but space is limited.
