Failed banks by state visualization

March 28, 2009 · Posted in The Economy 

Playing around with IBM’s Many Eyes online data visualization site, inspired by the Planet Money crew at NPR, I came up with this visualization showing the number of failed banks by state:

Illinois has four. California and Georgia lead the nation. The data came from the FDIC’s list of failed banks, which I put in a spreadsheet and then manually counted them by state after sorting the columns. I also removed any bank failures prior to 2007, since there was a gap between 2007 and 2004.
