For this week's , I decided to play with choropleth maps! Mapping is something I'm still getting used to in but I think I got this one done pretty well. The shapefile for the NYC boroughs came from data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Gov

The Rmd file for this week is at github.com/ldanderson2015/tidy

A choropleth map depicting the number of active elevator devices in each borough in New York City
A choropleth map depicting dismantled elevator devices by borough in New York City
A choropleth map depicting the number of elevator devices outside of the city's jurisdiction per New York City borough
A choropleth map depicting the number of elevator devices in NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings per New York City borough

Also if anyone has any suggestions for a good way of arranging these plots which preserves the size well enough that the labels don't completely overshadow the map polygons, it would be much appreciated. I tried to use facet_grid/facet_wrap and then grid.arrange() but each had their own set of problems...

Thank you to @johannes_lehmann and @LeafyEricScott! I was able to use patchwork (and some additional tidying of the data) to make this visualization a bit more useful!

Five choropleth maps of the five New York City boroughs, depicting the distribution of elevators in Active, Dismantled, No Jurisdiction, NYCHA, and Work in Progress Statuses across the boroughs as a percentage of the status category as a whole.

And now the final result! This has been a good learning experience and exactly what I was hoping for when I started interacting with this community!

A composite figure of six maps showing the five boroughs of New York City. Five of the maps depict the distribution of elevators in different statuses across the city, while the sixth provides labeling for the five boroughs for non-New Yorkers

@johannes_lehmann @deaconlincoln I second using patchwork, but I'd make the sub-plots all have the same color scale and use plot_layout(guides="collect") so there's only one legend for all the subplots

I’m also considering adding a sixth map as a “key” of sorts for the boroughs for those unfamiliar (like me) and removing the labels from the others.

@LeafyEricScott @rstats @R4DSCommunity @johannes_lehmann that’s my thinking too! I will do that and then consider this week done. Thank you again for the input and inspiration 😁
