I would really, really love it to have some sort of conclusion / interpretation / aggregated data.

Awesome project!
It looks like the Physical & Active Hobbies sector is populated exclusively by books in the northeast portion and video games in the southwest. It might be a direct swap with the Gaming & Virtual Worlds sector, which contains some physical activity events.

It doesn't look very graphics-intensive, yet runs at about 2FPS on Safari, on my 3.8GHz quad core i5. The site's performance could use an investigation by a software developer.

Anyone know what’s the underling map/tile technology used? I’m on my phone and can’t check

I for one am looking forward to retirement. I am planning on being high all the time, gardening and yelling at children passing by my property. Growing my hair and beard, wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt and paying for my coffee in quarters in a wooden treasure box I carry as a purse. The goal is to liberate the crazy.

For a 'happy map' there is a bizarrely puritanical deficit of orgasms. EDIT: oh wait I found one about backrubbing. That's nice I guess.

There might be a bug with the age filters. I'm seeing some 20s and 60s mixed up.

Children/family = least agency, while buying something = most agency? I must be misunderstanding something big time.

I played with the map a little bit. I think its cool at the first glance. What is missing is how it necessarily applies to me, user? I can understand that probably what makes people truly happy universally is applicable to me. But probably could use some quick guidance. You say it in your description - story, although this moment is buried in longer description of methodology. I also had to figure out on my own that each individual response is example of what can make me happy. Still, I think this map has potential for more cool features base don this data.
