Visualizing a unique Numeric variable

A collection of common dataviz caveats by Data-to-Viz.com







This document gives a few suggestions to analyse a dataset composed by a unique numeric variable.
It considers the night price of about 10,000 Airbnb appartements on the French Riviera in France.
This example dataset has been downloaded from the Airbnb website and is available on this Github repository. Basically it looks like the table beside.

# Libraries
