Data Visualisations

Representing our research through a visual medium

Data visualisation is the representation of information and data using charts, graphs, maps, and other visual tools.

We have created the following data visualisations to present large amounts of information in an accessible, easy-to-interpret manner and help illustrate the information in a way that might not be possible with the data alone.

Many of our visualisations have been configured using the Microsoft Power BI analytics service. You can find guidance on Power BI’s accessibility features on the Microsoft website. This contains advice on how to use keyboard navigation and screen readers with Power BI as well as general recommendations.

If you are still having access issues and would like the information provided in a different format, please contact ResearchPublications@niassembly.gov.uk and we will do our best to facilitate your request.

Our latest visualisations are available below. We also have a number of COVID-19 related data visualisations that you can access in our archive.
