Ranking
Charts that order things and show the gaps between them.
The idea
Ranking charts are about position: who is first, who moved, and how far apart they are. Dots, lollipops and dumbbells keep the focus on the value or the gap between two values, while bump and race charts follow ranks as they change over time. Sort the data, because order is the story.
Where to use it
- League tables and top-ten lists
- Before-and-after gaps, such as pay or prices
- Performance against a target
- Following ranks as they change year by year
