The 25 coolest charts we made in 2023
We look back at some of our favorites from the past year.
Throughout 2023, 538's visual journalists covered topics from how abortion access changed in the first full year after the Dobbs decision, to the faces of Congress after the historic ousting of the speaker of the House, to the absolute dominance of the National Football League over the other major sports leagues. A lot has changed over the last 12 months, but at least one thing's remained — our annual tradition of sharing some of our favorite, wackiest, most colorful and most creative charts and visualizations.
Without further ado, here are 25 of our favorite charts from 2023! Check out the stories associated with each chart listed at the bottom of this story, too!
