2023 has been a year of strange maps. For example, San Francisco has its infamous "poop" map, which tracks the locations where human feces have been reported on the streets of the city that came up during a recent political debate.
But other cities have their own maps of shame, which brings us to Datawrapper's Ivan Lokhov's Rats of New York map, which visualizes where New York City transit riders have reported rat sightings at subway stations in the United States' largest city.
Lokhov produced the map as part of the "The Unofficial NYC Subway Rat Census". In any case, we're looking forward to seeing how Martin Scorsese approaches the subject when he makes the definitive, and no doubt critically-acclaimed, Rats of New York movie.
