This map shows the total crime count for each township in Massachusetts, with circle size proportionally scaled to the crime total using d3.scaleSqrt. The visualization combines town boundary paths rendered via d3.geoPath with a d3.geoAlbers projection, overlaid with crime data points positioned by longitude and latitude. Tooltips display city name, county name, and formatted crime counts. The crime data originates from FBI 2016 statistics, while geographic boundaries come from MassGIS shapefiles converted to Topojson. The visualization is built with React, D3 v5, and SVG rendering.
