A Pareto chart combines columns sorted in descending order with a cumulative percentage line, making it easy to identify the most significant factors in a dataset. Based on the 80/20 principle, it highlights which few categories account for the majority of the total impact.
This sample visualizes CDC statistics for the 10 leading causes of death in the United States in 2019, including heart disease, cancer, and accidents. The chart uses custom hatch-filled columns with the earth palette, a dashed cumulative line series with percentage labels, and formatted tooltips showing both absolute values and cumulative/relative frequencies.
