We sat down with Cole Perry - a data analyst and geographic data visualization expert - to discuss some of the interesting insights he's gathered through his work mapping demographic, electoral, and economic data.
Topics discussed include:
- How geographic data visualizations help drive informed strategic decision making
- What Cole learned mapping out the updated 2022 "Whole Foods vs. Cracker Barrel" Congressional District Maps
- Fundraising trends in "Whole Foods vs. Cracker Barrel" district analysis
- The merits & shortcomings of analytical metrics like PVI
Some of Cole's Work:
And here you go: Rs Represent 67% of Cracker Barrel Congressional Districts, and Ds 33% as of today! An interesting proxy for the state of American politics. https://t.co/dEd7U0XeIj pic.twitter.com/haKApHVTew

Interestingly, Rs have (54%) of the 136 districts with both Whole Foods *and* Cracker Barrel, while Ds have (57.6%) of those 59 with neither of them! A lot of the latter are in the midwest and on the West Coast. Keep these requests coming! https://t.co/4yCVoJtKBl pic.twitter.com/QVTeYuupyu
