Case Study: The Irish News improves story visualisation and reader engagement with Azimap

The Irish News visualizes Ireland’s housing crisis with Azimap, showing 30% higher homelessness

The Irish News used Azimap to help visualize the statistics behind a leading story on the housing crisis, aiming to provide readers with a greater depth of understanding. Their challenge was to bring complex data about homelessness and vacant properties to life in a way that was engaging and informative for their audience.

Azimap's solution was a web GIS map that displayed the number of homeless adults versus vacant properties by county. This allowed readers to interact with the data using a swipe tool, quickly revealing areas struggling with both issues. By embedding this Azimap visualization, The Irish News enabled its readers to easily visualize the figures behind the crisis and feel more personally involved with the story.
