3D Mapbox Data Visualization and Analysis

I have built out a 3D visualization using Mapbox and DeckGL showing off the tax collected in comparison to the parcel size. This visualization shows off that the density of a city can improve the return on investment for tax dollars spent. This project was built in the course of 6 hours from start to finish. I started with downloading the Access Database from the City of St Louis, then converted it to a SQL database and wrote out a query to pull the data accounting for the latest year of tax assessment, and summing all the values for each parcel. Then I used QGIS to calculate out the missing acreage values and associated my new data to those parcels. After that I built a web map that showed the tax value / total acreage in vertical height using DeckGL and Mapbox grouping areas to improve rendering time. Since there was a lot of questions about the amount of each, I quickly built a table that would display all of the values that are associated with each pillar on the map.
