What is a 100% stacked area chart?

100% stacked area charts are great to depict part-to-whole relationships of multiple series and to display their cumulative values. As its name suggests, the total area of the 100% stacked area chart corresponds to 100%, and the areas of the data series are proportionate parts of the total that add on top of each other up to 100%.

100% stacked area charts are very popular: they are colorful and dynamic. However, likewise the conventionally stacked area charts, they communicate better overall trends and composition than individual values (for the latter, prefer the line graph). If you want to visualize trends over time, try Vizzlo’s super versatile time series graph.
