Recovery.gov has an animated map (which is much better than the static image above) showing nearly 89,000 recipients of awards funded by
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act between February 17, 2009 and September 30, 2010.
The Lights-On map, designed and created by Edward Tufte, gradually lights up to show the distribution of Recovery awards from February 17, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Each light represents an award.
Edward Tufte is a member of the Recovery Board’s Advisory Panel and is Professor Emeritus of political science, statistics, and computer science at Yale University. He has been referred to as the “da Vinci of data.”
