It’s easy to read, aesthetically pleasing, and shares some interesting information.  The comparison of Haiti’s and the United State’s GDPs is pretty astounding.  The population of the U.S. is 30 times larger than that of Haiti, but our GDP is 2,043 times greater!

GOOD also featured another graphic, by Claire Kohler, which doesn’t solely focus on Haiti, but explores some interesting information.  It correlates the depth and magnitude of the ten deadliest earthquakes over the past 15 years with the number of casualties caused.

The bottom portion of the graphic focuses on the money donated to Haiti, but I find the upper portion more interesting.  Of course, there are other factors that affect loss of life, such as proximity of the epicenter to metropolitan areas, etc.  But it’s amazing that the Haiti earthquake falls in the middle of the pack in terms of magnitude, but killed more than all but the 2004 tsunami.

You can check out the other submissions here.  And, if you’re feeling ambitious, submit one of your own here.
