25 Years in Canada's Park
What happens when we look at 25 years of Parks Canada attendance data at once?
25 years · 133 places · 3,325 records · 172 missing
A quarter-century of records makes it possible to see patterns that aren't visible when looking at individual years
133 places, different stories
The national picture is only the beginning. Individual places have very different attendance histories
172 records don't contain reported attendance. Rather than treating missing values as zero, I kept them visible and examined where the gaps occur.
This analysis raised new questions about accessibility, geography, population, environmental conditions and the factors that shape visitation.
