Data wrangling and cleaning was done in Python; visualization with D3.js, served with React**.**
This visualization uses the Economic Policy Institute’s Family Budget Calculator data (2025 release) for annual category costs.If you want to explore further or compare specific counties, I’ve built an interactive map tool that lets you click on counties and see detailed breakdowns (and comparisons across biggest budget categories).
