Norwegian developer Even Westvang created a beautiful animation illuminating how 300,000 of his compatriots move around their country. The visualization (created using a C++ application called Deluge) is based on 4m publicly available Norwegian tax records detailing birth date, income and address details. The underlying data was generated by cross referencing records from 2006 and 2007 to find changes in postal codes.
