      It's from bloomberg, they have brain worms. The coloring is designed to make it look like 30% is bad but 20% is somehow completely fine and nothing to be concerned about

      It's a divergent color scheme, and it looks wrong because it's usually used to illustrate how how data diverges from a midpoint (ex: voting patterns). They should have used a sequential scheme of a single color since it's numerical data - dark hue for high values and light hue for low values. It's maps 101 and this is dumb. Edit: also lol @ that data range.
