# NYC Historic Migration Data Visualization
A single-page interactive visualization of historic U.S. Census migration data for New York City built with the guidance of NYC Planning's Population Division
The project's goals are as follows:
1. To create a compelling web experience for exploring NYC migration trends data, in support of a broader initiative by the population division highlighting migration patterns.
2. To create a re-usable template for future single-page dataviz projects, and a fully-functional project that can be used for learning basic web development and data visualization with d3.js.

## Requirements
You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.
* [Git](https://git-scm.com/)
* [Python](https://www.python.org/) (for local web server)
## Local Development
- Clone this repo `git clone https://github.com/NYCPlanning/labs-migration-viz.git`
- Navigate to the project directory `cd labs-migration-viz`
- Start a local webserver
- **Python 2:** `cd labs-migration-viz && python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000`
- **Python 3:** `cd labs-migration-viz && python -m http.server 8000`
- Open the site in your browser at `http://localhost:8000`
## Architecture
This project uses [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) for layout, and a custom [D3.js](https://d3js.org/) chart.
## Deployment
This project can be deployed on any static web server.
- Create a new Git remote called `dokku`: `git remote add dokku dokku@{servername}:{appname}`
- Deploy via Dokku using `git push dokku master`. Because `.static` exists in the root of the repo, Dokku will deploy the app using the NGINX buildpack.
