Geo-spatial data visualization in R

" summary

Uses R with a Google API key (Static Maps API + Geocoding API), ggmap to geocode locations and pull static basemaps, and ggplot2 to build custom state polygons and a bubble map; adds interactivity with Plotly and publishes to RPubs. Maps show high vegan-interest concentrations on the West Coast and around New York, and a strong positive correlation with Democratic (blue) states, leading to the concrete claim that higher vegan interest aligns with Democratic voting patterns. GGmap + ggplot2 and interactive Plotly map are the main tools demonstrated.
