That’s gotta suck for everyone in not CA dealing with much shittier weather on the left side.

No, they are just colours from the flags of the countries.

Originally, I was going to fill in each bar with a picture of a beer from the country but I couldn't figure out a way to make it look good. Then I was going to do flags, but I had the same problem. So I settled on a colour from the flag.

That’s only about 1 beer a day!

I'm genuinely surprised that Texas isn't in the top 10

Just moved from one at the top, to one near the bottom. Bought a gorgeous house that met all of our needs. And with comparable wages. You can escape the top few states.

Oh my.. 😳 You said the "R" word.

J/K I hope you're correct. We'll see where the ball bounces by spring

Oregon’s growth is driven by Californians moving there.

Washington surprised me until I looked at how many cooperate HQs are based there.

Recessions usually result in interest rate declines. Fiscal stimulus.

That and the Portland area

It could be that as well

The whole point is to show the nominal price increase. The original data set had the 50 states and Washington DC.
