Mission
AllThatMap.com is a passion project I started out of love for data and maps.
My goal is to provide a convenient data visualization interface where people can access and learn from important world data. There is a story behind every data set, and we all can benefit from paying attention to those stories.
Especially in this modern world where sensationalized headlines dominate most public conversations, it’s often useful to take a more holistic view at what we know about the world and consider the bigger picture.
Everyone has their theories about the state of the world and its history, but nobody ever brings the data to back up those theories.
My hope is that this site will be a useful resource that helps people gain insight into data sets that are fundamental to our world.
