This is a collection of my data visualizations, mostly made with Python.

This GIF is shortened from the full dataset of 18 years to only 2 years due to file size restrictions. Full resolution videos from 2000-2018 are on YouTube.

The parts that stand out to me are the two big bumps 9 months after Pearl Harbor and 9 months after the war ended in Sep 1945. Those bumps are so big that the full chart pretty much only shows Baby Boomers.
