    The states of less government don’t seem to be doing very well for some unknown reason

    what does total mortality per 100k mean?? wouldnt it be 100k per 100k for every state??

    Didnt know it was this high in the US. On average its 9 deaths per 100 000 in Europe, highest in Cyprus with 68.

    So stay away from AR, MS, and AL. Better yet, just avoid the People’s Republic of America entirely.

  6. Why is this a divergent color scheme with red/green instead of a single color which fades with low mortality? Green as a color signifies “good” or “desirable.” This is saying that 500+ maternal deaths per 100K is acceptable? A single color (red, for instance) fading into blank/white would avoid this problem and be colorblind friendly. All states would be at least a light light shade of pink because realistically we’ll never get maternal mortality down to zero, but it’d avoid the Hawaii problem here of saying 500 per 100K is acceptable and we should stop there cuz we’ve peaked.

    The South is cursed (by right-wing politicians). Move away before you die an early death.

    Should just go ahead and make the color scales go from deep red to deep blue to save everyone the mental leap

  9. Im curious to see what the maternal mortality rates of MT would be if you just removed the reservations in their entirety. Do we have an epidemic of people dying in childbirth. Or is it… well… the reservations again skewing our stats.

  10. Does anyone know why DC seems like an anomaly here? Poverty line makes a bit of sense I guess, but the mortality rates seem unusual.
