In other words, this is not displaying the proportion of the population in each country that has a mental disorder, but the proportion that is diagnosed as having one, which in turn is mainly measuring the cultural and political significance in each country given to treating mental disorders.

The quality in Vienna differs a lot by district. In some areas you can go for several km without any intersection with cars. In other areas you get what you describe.

If you stick to the river promenades, you have to share the path with pedestrians, but in most cases this is still better than going on the streets. Especially since it's not so noisy.

You are right to be "skeptical":
as I noted in the reply comment below, the data IS biased.

I do not understand how 150 million voters separated the fifty states into two grossly disparate groupings? – such that one group is more obese, produces less goods and services, is more suicidal, etc?

Systemic bias – genetic or environmental?

Vienna is beautiful, but there is something wrong with cars. They obey to the traffic laws better than ever, but they are a lot and it shouldn’t be so with such a variety of public transport
