How You'll Probably Die, Visualized

"Ever wondered how things might come to an end? This chart visualizes the nation’s cause-of-death data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to give you a better idea. Created by Nathan Yau from Flowing Data, the interactive visualization shows how cause of death across 20 different categories varies according to age, gender and race. The height of each colored chunk shows the percentage of people dying because of a particular cause at that age. It’s based on data from between 2005 and 2014, so it’s fairly up-to-date."
