We curate, visualize, and explain key global themes
Our mission is simple — bridge the gap between complex datasets and everyday understanding.
Data Explained
At Data Explained, we believe that open data has the power to drive informed decisions, inspire meaningful research, and foster global development.
OUR PROCESS
We bridge the gap between complex data and human curiosity through a meticulous five-step methodology:
1. Rigorous Research
We begin with a foundation of data integrity, sourcing information from trusted institutions to ensure every insight is credible.
2. Distillation
We distill complex information into its most essential form, removing jargon to ensure accessibility without sacrificing accuracy.
3. Creative Design
We push the boundaries of data storytelling by embracing innovative visual formats to create beautiful, clear visualizations.
4. Narrative Storytelling
We weave research and design into a relatable narrative, transforming raw numbers into engaging stories that spark curiosity.
5. Our "Explain Like I'm 5 (ELI5)" Philosophy
Data stories become more understood when we’re able to explain contexts in their simplest, true form.

Founded with a passion for open knowledge and research equity, DATA Explained grew from a simple idea that valuable insights shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls or jargon.
We started by visualizing small datasets on health and climate, and today, the platform spans dozens of themes, covering over 190 countries and 4,000+ datasets.
What drives us is curiosity, collaboration, and the belief that data should tell human stories.
