An interactive analysis of how Americans spend their awake hours, showing how social time shifts across life stages.
How people spend their time might reveal more than you’d expect.
This analysis looks at how daily life shifts over the years, who we spend time with, and who gradually disappears from that picture.
As age changes, so do social patterns. Some connections grow stronger, others fade, and one trend becomes more dominant over time.
The story is based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Vizzu brings the changes to life as a continuous flow, showing how one type of interaction gives way to another. You can follow the natural progression or pause and explore any moment in detail.
It turns a simple dataset into something much more personal.
