Where is it actually cheaper to drive an electric car? And is it always greener? Our ranking shows how costs and emissions vary

Electric cars cost more upfront and generate more CO2 to manufacture compared with petrol cars. But they are much cheaper and greener to run. So, how far do you need to drive for an electric to beat petrol? The answer depends a lot on where you live...

CNN chart large differences in public support for mass deportation, depending on how the question is asked in surveys.

CNN chart large differences in public support for mass deportation, depending on how the question is asked in surveys.

You probably already know that question wording matters a lot in polling. But this chart from @aedwardslevy.bsky.social at @cnn.com underscores the point: Public support for mass deportation varies from 62% to 33%, depending on how the question is asked. www.cnn.com/2024/11/17/p...

An alternative use for The Economist’s Big Mac index Which countries have the highest purchasing power?

Do people say β€œmy DMs are open” on Bluesky? Either way, they are. Get in touch if you have interesting research to share or story ideas! (The inspo for this story using our Big Mac index came from one of our Off The Charts readers!) www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

A short history of Taiwan and China, in maps The Chinese Communist Party’s obsession with the island is about more than just territory

We’ve also been doing cool stuff with maps, like β€œshort histories” on various geopolitical stories showing how borders have shifted. A shameless plug for the one I wrote on China-Taiwan, but you can also search for Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Palestine, and India www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Our Carrie Bradshaw index: where Americans can afford to live solo in 2024 Compared with last year, rent on basic apartments looks more affordable

Exhibit C: Our Carrie Bradshaw index by @lizzypeet.bsky.social on where people can afford to rent their own apartment, based on average wages. Giving it some Sex and the City branding was the cherry on top! www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

How long would it take to read the greatest books of all time? <i>The Economist</i> consulted bibliophile data scientists to bring you the answer

Exhibit B: This culture piece tried to quantify the greatest books of all timeβ€”and how long it would take to get through them all. If you’re looking for some book-related inspo for your New Year’s resolutions, this is a great place to start www.economist.com/interactive/...

Our footloose index: the most attractive countries for graduates Southern Europe has become increasingly appealing for mobile talent

This has given me a lot of freedom to commission fun, informative, and visual pieces. Exhibit A: our footloose index by @ainsliejstone.bsky.social showing the most attractive countries for graduates. (Brits, take note of the UK’s massive drop) www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Eagle-eyed subscribers may have noticed that the section no longer runs in print. We made this shift to focus more on digital-friendly visualisations (interactives, etc) that aren’t constrained by the layout or timing of our weekly newspaper www.economist.com/graphic-detail
