Public data, told as complete stories.
Stats Viz builds visual stories from public statistics and official records. Each story starts from the full dataset, shows where the numbers come from, and states what they cannot tell you.

Visit taiwan.stats-viz.orgHow a story is made
Start from a public record
Official statistics, registers and published results. No scraped opinion, no private data.
Keep the source next to the figure
Each story names the publisher, table and release date, and a copy of the source data is kept in the repository.
State the limits
Estimates, definition changes and gaps in coverage are labelled on the page, not hidden in a footnote.
Describe, do not recommend
Stories show what the record says. They do not tell readers how to vote or what to conclude.
About the project
Stats Viz is an independent project that publishes data stories from public sources. It is set up to grow into an organisation: sources, editorial rules and corrections are documented now, so the work can be reviewed by anyone.
