Feature | The Best Visualizations from November on Voronoi 🏆

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

Today, roughly 300,000 people are using Voronoi every month. We’re also coming up on our one-year anniversary of the app in December, which is when we’ll unveil some very exciting features that will shape the platform going forward.

To give you a taste of some of the nearly 3,000 data stories already posted on the app, below we’re going to highlight some of the top performing visualizations from November.

Ehsan Soltani

Visual Capitalist is just one of many creators on Voronoi.

In fact, the data storytelling platform has many world-class creators with insightful visualizations, including the prolific economist Ehsan Soltani.

Soltani combines his expert background with data visualization, to produce unique insights into what’s happening in the global economy and trade. Here are some of his recent visualizations:

• Charting the new highs hit by U.S. stock market
• U.S. vs. EU house prices comparison
• Charting the global trade policy uncertainty index
• EU imports from U.S., China, and Russia compared

The World’s Largest Exporters of Goods

Which countries ship the most goods abroad?

In this infographic, the most liked post in all of November, Visual Capitalist breaks down global exports based on data from the World Trade Organization.

Interestingly, the dollar value of exports declined across 20 of the top 30 nations last year, amid a surge in trade restrictions. With tariffs back in the news going into 2025, this trend could continue.

The Two Largest Cities on Each Continent

Which cities are the largest, in terms of population, on each continent?

In this map from Visual Capitalist, the top two cities on each continent are highlighted with some interesting variance and results.

The two largest urban agglomerations in Asia are past the 30 million people mark (Delhi and Tokyo). Meanwhile the U.S. only is home to one of the largest cities, because Mexico City has an urban agglomeration of 22.8 million.

UN Member States Not Recognized by Other Members

International relations are complex, and not every country recognizes each other diplomatically.

This visualization by Julie Peasley was the most commented on visualization on Voronoi in November. (She also had the most discussed post in October!)

This unique idea charts which UN Member States recognize one another, and it raises some interesting questions. Perhaps for that reason, many users have been commenting on the post with their thoughts.
