How to Visualize Likert scale data broken down by different demographics

As I assert in this post about displaying Likert data, my “go to” approach to any sentiment data is an “inside-out” divergent bar chart with the neutrals in a separate column, as shown [in above graphic].

If you read the very thoughtful comments you’ll see that not everyone buys into this approach. I don’t want to get into a discussion here because whether you like inside-out divergent, default sort-order divergent, or 100% stacked bar, all of them are going to run into problems when you want to show the differences in responses based on demographic breakdown.
