Interesting graphs and charts department
 
Here's a chart with the percentage of adults with college degrees by county.

For fun, try clicking on the Asian button.

New Mexico does very well for blacks -100% in several counties. Just out of interest, how many black people are there in those counties?

Lamplighter 01-31-2011 01:54 PM

Yes, percentages are the big smoke mirror the news media use to report all sorts of things.

Unemployment in Switzerland went up by 100 % last year... from 1 to 2.

glatt 01-31-2011 02:33 PM

Check out Arlington County, VA. You can't swing a cat without hitting a college grad here. The only county I can find that has more grads is right next door in Falls Church. It's ridiculous.

Undertoad 01-31-2011 02:41 PM

And 6 of the 10 richest counties in the US are surrounding DC.

Seems strange for a place that doesn't actually produce anything.

Since when do you have to produce something to get rich?

Racial/ethnic populations are listed in the info.

Gravdigr 01-31-2011 05:00 PM

Very nice piece of info, useless to me, but, I love this stuff.

Your cat would suffer an aneurysm before contacting a college grad here. 15.19%

It was a rhetorical question....

Cloud 01-31-2011 09:06 PM

interesting. lots of educated people in Colorado. Lots of UNeducated people in most of the South.

wonder what the percentage of Cellarites with degrees is?

monster 01-31-2011 09:17 PM

College towns and Ski Havens. only people with degrees can afford to live there.

% in my county is over 50%. My county includes "little Detroit" where graduating high school is a big achievement. But it also includes the university of Michigan and Eastern Michigan Uni. And several small private law schools etc.

It is pretty interesting...Catron County for example, which is desolate to begin with at about 3500 pop., has 12 black residents all of whom have bachelor's degrees.

It's a big sausage fest over there on the West coast. I had long heard that DC has a lot of women. It's cool to see it in a chart. And personal experience says it's true. I met my wife here.

On the tornadoes graph:
(a) would have made a fine IotD, ya know.
(b) it is interesting that the areas with the most tornadoes is not the same as the area with the most *fatal* tornadoes. I wonder why? Are the tonadoes in the kill zone more intense? are the people there less well prepared? Are there simply more people there to get killed? Are they more stupid, and are still trying to follow Dorothy to Oz? Or does God, in fact, hate rednecks?

HungLikeJesus 05-10-2011 09:40 PM

In the second figure, why are the highest and lowest on the scale the same color?

BigV 05-10-2011 10:35 PM

one of them represents white people and one of them represents those that went "into the light"?

Here is an interesting map. It charts narco-related murders in Mexico on a Google Map. Broken down by civilians, police, and high-ranking officials. Also, mass graves.

The right hand column there is particularly interesting. Most of the debt is owed within the US, so if you try to "quantitatively ease" your way out of it (i.e. print money and devalue currency) you're mostly screwing yourselves.

I'm not so sure about the left column. I have doubts about pinning the debt to each president. Firstly, as various voices shout loudly from time to time, the prez is not totally in control of spending. As well as congress, there are the commitments from previous eras. For example, Obama couldn't just drop the Iraq thing on Jan 20th, 2009, he had to keep it going. I'd rather see what all the money has been spent on (social security, health care, defense etc) over the decades.

And putting tax cuts in as an expense raises all sorts of philosophical problems. I mean, suppose there had never been those tax cuts, but there was still a smaller debt. Could we say that the debt was because no-one has thought to increase taxes by a trillion dollars? :confused:

Clodfobble 08-27-2011 01:42 PM

Heh. Just the other weekend, I was lost in the boonies trying to take a shortcut from one highway to another, and I said to Mr. Clod that I'd just passed a Dairy Queen, so at least I knew I was still in Texas.

The Chinese portion while an enormous amount of money doesn't seem as scarey as advertised when looked at in the totality of the debt.
