Make an infographic stat block with your data

Use an infographic stat block when…

  • Presentations and slide decks
  • Marketing pages and annual reports
  • When a few impressive numbers tell the story
  • Hero sections of dashboards

Avoid when…

  • Analytical dashboards requiring detail
  • When comparison precision matters
  • More than 6 stats (becomes cluttered)

Guiding principles

Consider instead

Common mistakes

  • Too many stats diluting the impact

  • Missing units or context for the numbers

  • Inconsistent number formatting (mixing millions, thousands, raw counts)

History

Rooted in editorial infographic design from newspapers and magazines. Popularized in digital form by data journalism outlets like The Guardian and FiveThirtyEight.

Accessibility notes

Use semantic heading hierarchy and format large numbers with appropriate separators. Accent-hued numerals must meet WCAG AA contrast against the card background — not just against page-level text. Always state units explicitly (e.g., '99.9%', not '99.9').
