About 10 years ago I got the same urge to find or make maps to visually detail humanities conditions. An ostentatious write-up of the idea survives here [1]

I imagined a wiki like effort to crowd source data that scores regions for 5 "Domains of Human Circumstance"

-------

Labour : opportunities, conditions, demands and rewards of productive endeavour

Food : calories, nutrition, contaminants, variety, taste

Material Environment : air & water quality, land quality (toxicity, civil engineering, architecture, ecology)

Social Environment : access to education, entertainment, arts, media, therapists, medicine

Private Environment (shelter,clothing) : allocation, facilities, privacy, preference, private architecture/furnishings, quantity

Physical Security : statistical hazard from criminal predation, military trauma, political/economic upheaval

-------

The category scores would be rendered in colored combinations on maps in a manner which importantly would not average out distributions, so that a region with many people living with low scores and others with high would not deceptively appear as equivalent to everyone with middle scores.

I've regretfully never made any progress on it.
