Oklahoma FY 2011 budget agreement visualized

Thanks to some enterprising lawmakers, we got early word this afternoon on details of the FY 2011 budget agreement announced today. These data visualizations are from this spreadsheet posted at Google Spreadsheets.

The first one is what’s called a tree map, which compares the whole amounts appropriated by agency from what it received in FY 2010 and what is proposed under the agreement for FY 2011. The intensity of orange shading shows an increase, while the intensity of blue shading shows a decrease.

This next one is called a bubble chart. It’s just a snapshot of the FY 2011 amounts by agency, with the size of the circles relative to their share of the overall budget agreement amount. The color of the circle is the category of government the agency fits under.

To view full size visualizations (with enhanced interactivity) at the Many Eyes website, just click  on the following links:
