Eviction Lab Map Tool

Data visualization tool for the Eviction Lab at Princeton University displaying information on evictions and demographics for the United States.

Setup

This project uses Angular, and can be installed by cloning a local copy of the repo and running npm install. Use the Angular CLI to run a local development server with ng serve and access the site in your browser at http://localhost:4200.

Deployment

The app is deployed as a static site served over AWS S3 and CloudFront. Mapbox vector tiles provide all of the source data, and are built using the pipeline in EvictionLab/eviction-lab-etl. Exports are generated using serverless AWS Lambda functions in EvictionLab/eviction-lab-exports, with map screenshots for the PowerPoint export being generated by an auto-scaling ECS microservice EvictionLab/map-screenshot-gl.
