In December 2023, we publicly launched Voronoi, our free new data discovery app!

The initial response from both users and creators has been amazing. We now have millions of in-app views, and there are already more than 2,000 interesting visualizations to discover, many of which will never be published on Visual Capitalist.

For that reason, we’ve chosen to highlight some of the most popular visualizations and creators from September in this roundup. To see them and many others, make sure to download the app!

EDITOR’S PICK

Global Coal Consumption Keeps Rising

One of the recent picks in our Editor’s Pick feed on the app is from creator Elements, and it shows the growth in global coal consumption occurring.

This is of course a flashpoint for debate.

Many countries have worked hard to reduce the role of coal in their energy mix, only to witness the further ramping of coal usage in countries like China and India. At the same time, coal is one of the cheapest and most plentiful ways for these countries to supplement power generation when populations and economic activity are rising fast.

MOST DISCUSSED

Putting Germany’s Economy in Perspective

How big is Germany’s economy, exactly?

The country’s GDP is about $4.6 trillion, or to look at it another way…

This visualization by Visual Capitalist was the most commented on visualization on Voronoi in September.

Rightfully so, users pointed out that if some of the nations shown had more comparable populations to Germany, that their economies would be then much closer in size. Others noted that regardless, it’s still impressive in absolute terms that one country can have a similar economic output to 22 nearby countries.

MOST VIEWED

Lexus is the Most Reliable Car Brand

Which car brand is the least likely to cause you problems down the line?

In the following chart, Visual Capitalist uses data from Consumer Reports to break down the most reliable cars:

Consumer Reports used results from over 330,000 vehicles and sorted issues into 20 common problem areas.

The result? Lexus and Toyota come out on top, with Mini being the top non-Asian brand. U.S. brands generally lagged behind, with Chrysler being the least reliable brand in the mix.
