What It Shows
This infographic breaks down the factors associated with one of the perennial home questions: to buy, or to rent?

Why It&#8217;s Good
I get frustrated sometimes when infographics just present data and don&#8217;t use supposed expertise to help you with actionable conclusions. In this case, not only are the costs of renting versus buying weighed [...]]]></description>

What It Shows
This infographic uses smiley faces to compare happiness levels between various countries.

Why It&#8217;s Good
I find the use of the smiley face mouth to show the happiness graph a cute idea. It definitely works as far as the right side of the face, since increasing happiness makes for a smile, but it&#8217;s a bit [...]]]></description>

What It Shows
This infographic shows an economic breakdown of the current World Cup tournament, including sponsorships, stadium costs, and more. Warning: it&#8217;s a large image!

Why It&#8217;s Good

What It Shows
This infographic mainly indicates the amounts of refugees leaving and entering countries around the world.

Why It&#8217;s Good
The idea to represent these figures as circles was great. Not only are you able to get a relative quantitative comparison between countries by the sizes of the circles, but the circles allow for a very easy [...]]]></description>

What It Shows
This infographic compares the worst oil spills in history, taking into account not only size, but economic and environmental damage. Figures for the current spill in the Gulf of Mexico are estimates, and this infographic uses these estimates to put the current spill into historical perspective.

What It Shows
This infographic shows how a simple driving error creates a chain reaction of congestion on the road.

Why It&#8217;s Good
It is visually striking. That wavy road grabs attention, and the rest of the art is equally well-done. I really like how the wave in the road represents the shockwave of traffic effect.
