Visited Toledo once on vacation. I remember leaving the The Toledo Museum of Art, driving down an avenue lined with enormous dilapidated mansions on both sides, one after another, for what felt like at least a mile. You could tell these where magnificent pieces of architecture in their prime. One of the weirdest neighborhoods I've ever seen.

Did you miss the part that this is a chart of Federal Prisons and federal crimes, not state prisons with other crime types? It's literally in the chart.

Do you know the difference between federal crimes and state crimes? Focusing on federal crimes and prisons without looking at state prisons and convictions is only giving a small portion of the big picture.

Reply to [OC] Charting season-by-season accumulative interceptions for the top ten career leaders, led by all-time interception king Brett Favre (NFL, American Football) by JPAnalyst

Chart: Excel

Source: Pro Football Reference

Description: This chart shows the season-by-season accumulation for each of the top ten QBs for career interceptions. They come from different eras, many from the '60s-'70s when interceptions rates averaged in the 5-6% range (today it is 2.3%). For some perspective about interceptions in the '60s, George Blanda once threw 42 interceptions in a 14-game season but made the Pro Bowl and was 2nd team All-Pro.

Brett Favre, the all-time leader in interceptions played in an era where interception rates (high-3% to low-4%) were much lower than most of these guys on this list, but higher than it is today.

For those who don't follow American football. Interceptions are a bad thing. But generally speaking, to be on this list, you need longevity, and to have longevity in the league, you must be good. This is a bad stat, accumulated by mostly good / great quarterbacks. It's only one stat and does not reflect their overall performance. There are Hall of Famers on this list.

Reply to [OC] Visualization of progress on the San Francisco Sewer System Improvement Project by GenButtNekkid

Many of these graphs lack a legend describing what each color/line is. Also, many of the Y axes are missing units labels. We can infer that it's %progress from the context of the post, but you should always label your axes.

Other than, interesting post.

Also, how the heck did we lose progress towards completion? Did someone make a big oopsie that accidentally destroyed a bunch of stuff?

Right, I agree with your statement. But the idea that was stated pertained to the correlation between low income and criminal conviction rates. So in this instance we see a disproportionately higher rate of criminal convictions for people of color in New York, but a significantly more equal conviction rate (racially) in Southern States. These two things suggest that the socioeconomic racial inequalities are worse in the North East than in the South East. We're not talking about general income disparities. Again, from what the commenter said, it would basically suggest that the racial proportionality (Black/White) of low income households is more equal in Southeastern states than Northeastern states.
