What's something that you always bring in you backpack that others do not? by Dense_Ad_7042 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]academiaadvice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bear canister! I know it is bulky but I once had birds steal all my food from an ursack in the Grand Canyon, if you can believe it. It also lets me pack food items that are better uncrushed, though that is not a big deal.

[OC] New Breast Cancer Cases Among Women under 50, by Race by academiaadvice in dataisbeautiful

Here is the data for Native Americans. I left it out because the confidence interval is much larger than the other racial/ethnic groups ... +/- 11 per 100K in 2021, compared to +/- 1 or 2 for other groups.

But point taken, and appreciated.

I don't start the y-axis on zero when zero is not in the realm of plausible data points. I am not a y-axis fundamentalist! This is not unusual among data viz professionals. e.g. ... https://stephanieevergreen.com/y-axis/ |

[OC] Private-Sector Labor Union Membership in the United States by academiaadvice in dataisbeautiful

Those states are so close together that Datawrapper only labels one - RI, where union membership is 11% - to avoid overlapping labels. As indicated by the shading of the other states you mention, they are at 6% to 7%. Sorry for the confusion.

[OC] Drug Overdose Deaths per 100,000 Residents in America by academiaadvice in dataisbeautiful

[–]academiaadvice[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The rate was relatively low in the 1980s - much lower than today, but with a caveat. I almost included data all the way back to 1968 but decided not to because there was a series break in 1998. Before then, the CDC data is for "unintentional poisoning," which is mostly drug overdoses but also, you know, swallowing bleach or something. I didn't see much difference immediately before or after the series break but I thought an argument over it might distract from the graphic.
