Murder, chain smoking, and champagne or a cold martini…that’s Hollywood! When I had a dataset that tracked bad habits, my interest was piqued! Alcohol and violence remain but there is new comer in the data to replace tobacco, marijuana. Unfortunately, our analysis shows no correlation between these bad habits and health violations in restaurants. However, it is still fun to be able to pull up a city and find out the proportion of adult marijuana users in the last year, which city has the most places where you can get your cocktail on and where you might find the most incidents of serious crimes.

All interactive maps and visualizations were done using quite a bit of data and are hosted on Tableau public so load times are dependent on the strength of a viewer's internet connection and hardware capabilities. Please be patient and as a word of caution, selecting "All" on any graphics may be time consuming because the server could be attempting to access millions of data points as a result and instead it may be adviseable to select one item at a time and deselecting what is no longer of interest. Additionally, small screen devices may not display as well as larger ones. Use the options at the bottom of the viewport to access fullscreen or save as a file for offline use.
