Create an Animated Choropleth Map

1. Introduction

Sometimes data is not static, but shows trends over time. If the data is spatial, we can create animated maps with showing time series of data.

In this tutorial you'll create an animated choropleth map showing the trend in amount of people who don't have access to an improved water source.

We'll use data from Our World in Data and the UN country boundaries.

This tutorial is inspired by Kurt Menke's tutorial for the Community Health Maps.
