Geography of Harvard Athletes (pt. 2)

By David Freed  • 

As a continuation of a previous analysis of athletes on Harvard varsity sport rosters, the above map shows the distribution of hometowns for athletes listed on either the men's basketball or football varsity rosters from the 1970-1971 to the 2014-2015 seasons. The sliders (top) allow for the time interval from which the data was collected to be adjusted, while the drop-down menu (top right) allows for the data to be filtered by individual sport. The athletes from the data set appear on the map only in the year they first were listed on their team's roster.
