Hi Dustin,
I’m the author of this chart. Thank you for posting. Let me just say that there is an error on this chart. I’ve made the cloud to show the data but when I’ve used the length of the states to make the small bars charts I’ve made an error.
Of course that you can not relate the data this way because NEW YORK and PENNSYLVANIA have the same amount of poverty but the length of the names vary a lot….
I think the chart could work if the little chart bars where all the same length. I just wanted to make this correction. More on http://www.whatype.com
Thank you
