Looks like a good illustration of why linear regressions are not appropriate to all situations. (Probably also a cautionary tale about insisting a linear regression pass through the origin, too.)
An x-axis labelled as a ‘score’ (or a percentile…?) without any numbers is an unfortunate omission. (It’s also awkward to have neighborhood names that are not clearly tied to specific points.)
