EA Survey bar chart plotter

I’ve made a bar chart plotter for the EA survey results (including only data from respondents who said they could be called an EA), which lets you choose the categories to plot. In addition to the survey being unrepresentative of the broader EA community in unknown ways (see, e.g., the discussion in the report), this interface lets you make lots of different comparisons that weren’t pre-registered: I’d strongly advise against doing any serious statistics with the results. But still it’s fun to explore!

Some examples follow.

The age breakdown:

The median donation in each age group:

The percentage of income donated by members of various EA groups (people can belong to more than one group):

Others have noted the relatively low number of EA’s currently donating 10% or more of their income; this observation does not apply to Giving What We Can members, who appear to be following their pledge. (Many GWWC members are full-time students, who are not required to donate 10%.)

Data is from the EA survey data on GitHub, and the graphics library I used was d3.js.
