Why did they make the “no data” color nearly identical to the low value of the range? And yet there are still counties marked grey, which is what they should have picked for missing data.

I am curious about the source for this. Very strange and unhelpful.

Okay as an European, I finally understand why they say "west is best"

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

Seems to be a multifactoral type of correlation. Poverty, race and population density all playing parts.

This one’s not just a population density map in disguise, is it?

No, it's per capita.

They hate the midwest

Hilarious to see my county is an orange dot in a large swath of green. We’ve got just high enough a population that you REALLY notice there’s nothing to do.

How are things in Colby, Kansas these days?

I wonder how many of those dark red are over native reservations...

Edit: Almost the same areas.

Yeah =(

The map tracks with high American Indian and White populations.

They usually include drug overdoses as suicide on these statistics, so it makes sense that Nevada and other rural areas are so red.

I’m having trouble with the colors. It tornado alley low rate or no data. TBH either of those would seem weird for the area.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

The darker color in tornado alley is green for "no data", which is odd, but I assume it's similar to the darker orange and red around it.

Who cares? They are mostly men... /s
