Stacked Bar Graph

Bars split into segments that show a total and its parts.

The idea

A stacked bar graph divides each bar into segments, so you see the total and what it is made of. Only the bottom segment shares a baseline, so keep the parts few and put the one you care about first. Diverging versions centre the answers on a neutral point.

Where to use it

  • Totals broken into their parts
  • Likert-scale and satisfaction scales
  • Composition across a few periods
  • Agree and disagree around a centre line
