Where (NOT) to Eat in Lexington, KY - UPDATED LIVE DATA!

Lexington, KY Skyline

This is part of my #1YearOfViz series! Check out the archive here: http://bourbonandbrains.blogspot.com/p/one-year-of-dataviz.html

I posted the original version of this back several years ago as one of my very first geo-located dataviz that I'd created. With the new changes in Tableau Public I have finally found a way to get the live-updated data from the Lexington Health Department. If you'd like to see the raw Google Sheet that I'm pulling this data from I'll make it available here.

I didn't do too much as far as changing this data from it's original form except making the data a live-updating format and putting some additional filters and analysis on top of what I'd done previously.

First off I'd like to announce that I've developed what I think is a good mobile version which you can pull up on your phone if you'd like to bookmark to be able to quickly/easily check food scores/violations for a place. Click on the image below to be linked out directly to the dash!

Oh J-Law... me too! <3

In the 2+ years since I developed the original dash for food scores I didn't have the analytical knowledge that I have now to work against. I decided to do a new dashboard looking at the "health" of food scores and violations over time in Lex. You can check it out below:

Finally is the MONSTROUS dash that is just exactly like the original that you can put in a wildcard name in and see the various stats for those establishments. I'd suggest checking out "school" as that will return basically every public/private school and their ratings as places to serve food! It's one of the few things you can use with public data to directly compare public/private schools. =)

If you made it past that huge viz I commend you... and I'll let you know that this is me after pretty much every meal and after consuming all the data in that huge viz... =D
