CroStats — visualization of population in Croatia

Abstract

Population census is often a popular topic in everyday conversations. After extensive research, a conclusion was made that currently no services exist that offer a convenient, easily interpretable information about the census. Our solution for this problem is CroStats – a simple web interface for population census data visualization intended for general public. The central feature of the CroStats is its intuitive and simple graphical display. It analyzes the most important categories of the population census by county such as population, age, birth rate and mortality. All this information is displayed on an interactive map of the Republic of Croatia. Extra features offered are graphs of changes by year and interesting historical and demographic facts about counties that the broader audience may have interest in.
