Interesting infographic

Why is rape so high in South Dakota?

Interesting, but flawed by the decision to use an even number of "bins" (colors), with the result that no state is ever "average" or median in anything: at the center, you are either a little better than average, or a little below average, with no in between.

The lack of any type of number on the scale leaves me wondering, is the spread from best to worst a couple of percentage points or an order of magnitude.
The same thing strikes me when I see data that has no labels on the X or Y axis, is the range from 0 to 100% or 75.3 to 76.1

Basil is correct - in survey data you always try to have an odd number of bins. Same for graphing, etc, odd number is standard

State info is not useful. County info would be more useful, and breakdown of county info would be most useful.
Let me give you an example:
New York City has five boroughs, which disappear into the state stats. The Bronx, one of the boroughs, has almost two million people. Much of The Bronx is quite lovely, with the Riverdale neighborhood one of the most desirable in The U.S.
But a few blocks here and there are extremely violent. A few blocks in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, can skew the whole state. Chicago is similar. So is Detroit. In fact, about four percent of the thousands of counties in the U.S. are responsible for eighty percent of the violent crime.
